[fuse-devel] [PATCH 16/16] mm: strictlimit feature
|
From: Maxim P. <MPa...@pa...> - 2013-06-29 17:49:09
|
From: Miklos Szeredi <msz...@su...>
The feature prevents mistrusted filesystems to grow a large number of dirty
pages before throttling. For such filesystems balance_dirty_pages always
check bdi counters against bdi limits. I.e. even if global "nr_dirty" is under
"freerun", it's not allowed to skip bdi checks. The only use case for now is
fuse: it sets bdi max_ratio to 1% by default and system administrators are
supposed to expect that this limit won't be exceeded.
The feature is on if address space is marked by AS_STRICTLIMIT flag.
A filesystem may set the flag when it initializes a new inode.
Signed-off-by: Maxim Patlasov <MPa...@pa...>
