From 0e175a1835ffc979e55787774e58ec79e41957d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Curt Wohlgemuth Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2011 21:54:10 -0600 Subject: writeback: Add a 'reason' to wb_writeback_work This creates a new 'reason' field in a wb_writeback_work structure, which unambiguously identifies who initiates writeback activity. A 'wb_reason' enumeration has been added to writeback.h, to enumerate the possible reasons. The 'writeback_work_class' and tracepoint event class and 'writeback_queue_io' tracepoints are updated to include the symbolic 'reason' in all trace events. And the 'writeback_inodes_sbXXX' family of routines has had a wb_stats parameter added to them, so callers can specify why writeback is being started.
