* writeback: add new tracepointsArtem Bityutskiy2010-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add 2 new trace points to the periodic write-back wake up case, just like we do in the 'bdi_queue_work()' function. Namely, introduce: 1. trace_writeback_wake_thread(bdi) 2. trace_writeback_wake_forker_thread(bdi) The first event is triggered every time we wake up a bdi thread to start periodic background write-out. The second event is triggered only when the bdi thread does not exist and should be created by the forker thread. This patch was suggested by Dave Chinner and Christoph Hellwig.

* writeback.h: needs linux/device.hRandy Dunlap2010-08-07

* writeback: Add tracing to write_cache_pagesDave Chinner2010-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add a trace event to the ->writepage loop in write_cache_pages to give visibility into how the ->writepage call is changing variables within the writeback control structure. Of most interest is how wbc->nr_to_write changes from call to call, especially with filesystems that write multiple pages in ->writepage.

* writeback: Add tracing to balance_dirty_pagesDave Chinner2010-08-07
| | | | | | | | | Tracing high level background writeback events is good, but it doesn't give the entire picture. Add visibility into write throttling to catch IO dispatched by foreground throttling of processing dirtying lots of pages.

* writeback: Initial tracing supportDave Chinner2010-08-07
Trace queue/sched/exec parts of the writeback loop. This provides insight into when and why flusher threads are scheduled to run. e.g a sync invocation leaves traces like: sync-[...]: writeback_queue: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0 flush-8:0-[...]: writeback_exec: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0 This also lays the foundation for adding more writeback tracing to provide deeper insight into the whole writeback path. The original tracing code is from Jens Axboe, though this version is a rewrite as a result of the code being traced changing significantly.
