558 * behaviors (single foreign page can lead to gigabytes of writeback to be
559 * incorrectly attributed).
561 * To resolve this issue, cgroup writeback detects the majority dirtier of
562 * an inode and transfers the ownership to it. To avoid unnnecessary
563 * oscillation, the detection mechanism keeps track of history and gives
564 * out the switch verdict only if the foreign usage pattern is stable over
565 * a certain amount of time and/or writeback attempts.
567 * On each writeback attempt, @wbc tries to detect the majority writer
568 * using Boyer-Moore majority vote algorithm. In addition to the byte
569 * count from the majority voting, it also counts the bytes written for the
570 * current wb and the last round's winner wb (max of last round's current
571 * wb, the winner from two rounds ago, and the last round's majority
572 * candidate). Keeping track of the historical winner helps the algorithm
573 * to semi-reliably detect the most active writer even when it's not the
574 * absolute majority.
576 * Once the winner of the round is determined, whether the winner is
577 * foreign or not and how much IO time the round consumed is recorded in
