Series cgroup, blkcg: prevent dirty inodes to pin dying memory cgroups | expand

Commit Message

Roman Gushchin June 4, 2021, 1:31 a.m. UTC 
Currently there is no way to iterate over inodes attached to a
specific cgwb structure. It limits the ability to efficiently
reclaim the writeback structure itself and associated memory and
block cgroup structures without scanning all inodes belonging to a sb,
which can be prohibitively expensive.

While dirty/in-active-writeback an inode belongs to one of the
bdi_writeback's io lists: b_dirty, b_io, b_more_io and b_dirty_time.
Once cleaned up, it's removed from all io lists. So the
inode->i_io_list can be reused to maintain the list of inodes,
attached to a bdi_writeback structure.

This patch introduces a new wb->b_attached list, which contains all
inodes which were dirty at least once and are attached to the given
cgwb. Inodes attached to the root bdi_writeback structures are never
placed on such list. The following patch will use this list to try to
release cgwbs structures more efficiently.
