From 8d58802fc9de1b416601d90da794a3feaad1898d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2021 13:42:35 -0700 Subject: mm/writeback: throttle based on page writeback instead of congestion do_writepages throttles on congestion if the writepages() fails due to a lack of memory but congestion_wait() is partially broken as the congestion state is not updated for all BDIs. This patch stalls waiting for a number of pages to complete writeback that located on the local node. The main weakness is that there is no correlation between the location of the inode's pages and locality but that is still better than congestion_wait.
