[RFC][PATCH v7 08/14] writeback: add memcg fields to writeback_control

From: Greg Thelen
Date: Fri May 13 2011 - 04:51:30 EST


Add writeback_control fields to differentiate between bdi-wide and
per-cgroup writeback. Cgroup writeback is also able to differentiate
between writing inodes isolated to a particular cgroup and inodes shared
by multiple cgroups.
