[PATCH 12/15] mm: per device dirty threshold

[Peter Zijlstra]

Scale writeback cache per backing device, proportional to its writeout speed.

By decoupling the BDI dirty thresholds a number of problems we currently have
will go away, namely:

 - mutual interference starvation (for any number of BDIs);
 - deadlocks with stacked BDIs (loop, FUSE and local NFS mounts).

It might be that all dirty pages are for a single BDI while other BDIs are
idling. By giving each BDI a 'fair' share of the dirty limit, each one can have
dirty pages outstanding and make progress.

A global threshold also creates a deadlock for stacked BDIs; when A writes to
B, and A generates enough dirty pages to get throttled, B will never start
writeback until the dirty pages go away. Again, by giving each BDI its own
'independent' dirty limit, this problem is avoided.

So the problem is to determine how to distribute the total dirty limit across
the BDIs fairly and efficiently. A DBI that has a large dirty limit but does
not have any dirty pages outstanding is a waste.

What is done is to keep a floating proportion between the DBIs based on
writeback completions. This way faster/more active devices get a larger share
than slower/idle devices.

 /*
+ * Scale the writeback cache size proportional to the relative writeout speeds.
+ *
+ * We do this by keeping a floating proportion between BDIs, based on page
+ * writeback completions [end_page_writeback()]. Those devices that write out
+ * pages fastest will get the larger share, while the slower will get a smaller
+ * share.
+ *
+ * We use page writeout completions because we are interested in getting rid of
+ * dirty pages. Having them written out is the primary goal.
+ *
+ * We introduce a concept of time, a period over which we measure these events,
+ * because demand can/will vary over time. The length of this period itself is
+ * measured in page writeback completions.
+ *
+ * DETAILS:
+ *
+ * The floating proportion is a time derivative with an exponentially decaying
+ * history:
+ *
+ *   p_{j} = \Sum_{i=0} (dx_{j}/dt_{-i}) / 2^(1+i)
+ *
+ * Where j is an element from {BDIs}, x_{j} is j's number of completions, and i
+ * the time period over which the differential is taken. So d/dt_{-i} is the
+ * differential over the i-th last period.
+ *
+ * The decaying history gives smooth transitions. The time differential carries
+ * the notion of speed.
+ *
+ * The denominator is 2^(1+i) because we want the series to be normalised, ie.
+ *
+ *   \Sum_{i=0} 1/2^(1+i) = 1
+ *
+ * Further more, if we measure time (t) in the same events as x; so that:
+ *
+ *   t = \Sum_{j} x_{j}
+ *
+ * we get that:
+ *
+ *   \Sum_{j} p_{j} = 1
+ *
+ * Writing this in an iterative fashion we get (dropping the 'd's):
+ *
+ *   if (++x_{j}, ++t > period)
+ *     t /= 2;
+ *     for_each (j)
+ *       x_{j} /= 2;
+ *
+ * so that:
+ *
+ *   p_{j} = x_{j} / t;
+ *
+ * We optimize away the '/= 2' for the global time delta by noting that:
+ *
+ *   if (++t > period) t /= 2:
+ *
+ * Can be approximated by:
+ *
+ *   period/2 + (++t % period/2)
+ *
+ * [ Furthermore, when we choose period to be 2^n it can be written in terms of
+ *   binary operations and wraparound artefacts disappear. ]
+ *
+ * Also note that this yields a natural counter of the elapsed periods:
+ *
+ *   c = t / (period/2)
+ *
+ * [ Its monotonic increasing property can be applied to mitigate the wrap-
+ *   around issue. ]
+ *
+ * This allows us to do away with the loop over all BDIs on each period
+ * expiration. By remembering the period count under which it was last
+ * accessed as c_{j}, we can obtain the number of 'missed' cycles from:
+ *
+ *   c - c_{j}
+ *
+ * We can then lazily catch up to the global period count every time we are
+ * going to use x_{j}, by doing:
+ *
+ *   x_{j} /= 2^(c - c_{j}), c_{j} = c
