[patch 2/6] mm: bdi: export BDI attributes in sysfs

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Tue Jan 29 2008 - 10:50:58 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>

Provide a place in sysfs (/sys/class/bdi) for the backing_dev_info
object. This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific
variables.

In particular this properly exposes the read-ahead window for all
relevant users and /sys/block/<block>/queue/read_ahead_kb should be
deprecated.

With patient help from Kay Sievers and Greg KH

[mszeredi@xxxxxxx]

- split off NFS and FUSE changes into separate patches
- document new sysfs attributes under Documentation/ABI
- do bdi_class_init as a core_initcall, otherwise the "default" BDI
won't be initialized
- remove bdi_init_fmt macro, it's not used very much

+
+Provide a place in sysfs for the backing_dev_info object.
+This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific variables.
+
+The <bdi> identifyer can take the following forms:
+
+blk-NAME
+
+ Block devices, NAME is 'sda', 'loop0', etc...
+
+FSTYPE-MAJOR:MINOR
+
+ Non-block device backed filesystems which provide their own
+ BDI, such as NFS and FUSE. MAJOR:MINOR is the value of st_dev
+ for files on this filesystem.
+
+default
+
+ The default backing dev, used for non-block device backed
+ filesystems which do not provide their own BDI.

+ to this device
+
+writeback_kb (read-only)
+
+ Memory currently under writeback to this device
