H A Dsysfs-class-bdi189d3c4a Wed Apr 30 02:54:35 CDT 2008 Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> mm: bdi: allow setting a minimum for the bdi dirty limit

Under normal circumstances each device is given a part of the total write-back
cache that relates to its current avg writeout speed in relation to the other
devices.

min_ratio - allows one to assign a minimum portion of the write-back cache to
a particular device. This is useful in situations where you might want to
provide a minimum QoS. (One request for this feature came from flash based
storage people who wanted to avoid writing out at all costs - they of course
needed some pdflush hacks as well)

max_ratio - allows one to assign a maximum portion of the dirty limit to a
particular device. This is useful in situations where you want to avoid one
device taking all or most of the write-back cache. Eg. an NFS mount that is
prone to get stuck, or a FUSE mount which you don't trust to play fair.

Add "min_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi. This indicates the minimum percentage of
the global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi.
