linux write()源码,writeback机制源码分析

writeback相关数据结构

与writeback相关的数据结构主要有：

1，backing_dev_info，该数据结构描述了backing_dev的所有信息，通常块设备的request queue中会包含backing_dev对象。

2，bdi_writeback，该数据结构封装了writeback的内核线程以及需要操作的inode队列。

3，wb_writeback_work，该数据结构封装了writeback的工作任务。

各数据结构之间的关系如下图所示：

下面对各个数据结构做简要介绍。

bdi information

bdi对象在块设备添加的时候需要注册到系统的bdi队列中。对于ext3而言，在mount的时候需要将底层块设备的bdi对象联系到ext3 root_inode中。bdi对象数据结构定义如下：

struct backing_dev_info {

struct list_head bdi_list;

unsigned long ra_pages; /* max readahead in PAGE_CACHE_SIZE units */

unsigned long state; /* Always use atomic bitops on this */

unsigned int capabilities; /* Device capabilities */

congested_fn *congested_fn; /* Function pointer if device is md/dm */

void *congested_data; /* Pointer to aux data for congested func */

char *name;

struct percpu_counter bdi_stat[NR_BDI_STAT_ITEMS];

unsigned long bw_time_stamp; /* last time write bw is updated */

unsigned long dirtied_stamp;

unsigned long written_stamp; /* pages written at bw_time_stamp */

unsigned long write_bandwidth; /* the estimated write bandwidth */

unsigned long avg_write_bandwidth; /* further smoothed write bw */

/*

* The base dirty throttle rate, re-calculated on every 200ms.

* All the bdi tasks' dirty rate will be curbed under it.

* @dirty_ratelimit tracks the estimated @balanced_dirty_ratelimit

* in small steps and is much more smooth/stable than the latter.

*/

unsigned long dirty_ratelimit;

unsigned long balanced_dirty_ratelimit;

struct prop_local_percpu completions;

int dirty_exceeded;

unsigned int min_ratio;

unsigned int max_ratio, max_prop_frac;

struct bdi_writeback wb; /* default writeback info for this bdi，writeback对象 */

spinlock_t wb_lock; /* protects work_list */

/* 任务链表 */

struct list_head work_list;

struct device *dev;

/* 在laptop模式下应用的定时器 */

struct timer_list laptop_mode_wb_timer;

#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_FS

struct dentry *debug_dir;

struct dentry *debug_stats;

#endif
