What: /sys/class/bdi/<bdi>/
Date: January 2008
Contact: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
Description:
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> identifier can be either of the following:
MAJOR:MINOR
Device number for block devices, or value of st_dev on
non-block filesystems which provide their own BDI, such as NFS
and FUSE.
default
The default backing dev, used for non-block device backed
filesystems which do not provide their own BDI.
Files under /sys/class/bdi/<bdi>/
---------------------------------
read_ahead_kb (read-write)
Size of the read-ahead window in kilobytes
reclaimable_kb (read-only)
Reclaimable (dirty or unstable) memory destined for writeback
to this device
writeback_kb (read-only)
Memory currently under writeback to this device
dirty_kb (read-only)
Global threshold for reclaimable + writeback memory
bdi_dirty_kb (read-only)
Current threshold on this BDI for reclaimable + writeback
memory
min_ratio (read-write)
Minimal percentage of global dirty threshold allocated to this
bdi. If the value written to this file would make the the sum
of all min_ratio values exceed 100, then EINVAL is returned.
The default is zero
