[PATCH v6 02/11] VFS hot tracking: Track IO and record heat information

From: Zhi Yong Wu
Date: Wed Nov 06 2013 - 08:48:24 EST


From: Zhi Yong Wu <wuzhy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds read/write code paths: include read_pages(),
do_writepages(), do_generic_file_read() and __blockdev_direct_IO()
to record heat information.

When real disk i/o for an inode is done, its own hot_inode_item will
be created or updated in the RB tree for the filesystem, and the i/o freq for
all of its extents will also be created/updated in the RB-tree per inode.

Each of the two structures hot_inode_item and hot_range_item
contains a hot_freq_data struct with its frequency of access metrics
(number of {reads, writes}, last {read,write} time, frequency of
{reads,writes}).

Each hot_inode_item contains one hot_range_tree struct which is keyed by
{inode, offset, length} and used to keep track of all the ranges in this file.
