565 * To be called after a writeback attempt of an inode finishes and undoes

568 * As concurrent write sharing of an inode is expected to be very rare and
569 * memcg only tracks page ownership on first-use basis severely confining
570 * the usefulness of such sharing, cgroup writeback tracks ownership
571 * per-inode. While the support for concurrent write sharing of an inode
572 * is deemed unnecessary, an inode being written to by different cgroups at
573 * different points in time is a lot more common, and, more importantly,
574 * charging only by first-use can too readily lead to grossly incorrect
575 * behaviors (single foreign page can lead to gigabytes of writeback to be
576 * incorrectly attributed).
578 * To resolve this issue, cgroup writeback detects the majority dirtier of
579 * an inode and transfers the ownership to it. To avoid unnnecessary
580 * oscillation, the detection mechanism keeps track of history and gives
581 * out the switch verdict only if the foreign usage pattern is stable over
582 * a certain amount of time and/or writeback attempts.
584 * On each writeback attempt, @wbc tries to detect the majority writer
585 * using Boyer-Moore majority vote algorithm. In addition to the byte
586 * count from the majority voting, it also counts the bytes written for the
587 * current wb and the last round's winner wb (max of last round's current
588 * wb, the winner from two rounds ago, and the last round's majority
589 * candidate). Keeping track of the historical winner helps the algorithm
590 * to semi-reliably detect the most active writer even when it's not the
591 * absolute majority.
593 * Once the winner of the round is determined, whether the winner is
594 * foreign or not and how much IO time the round consumed is recorded in
595 * inode->i_wb_frn_history. If the amount of recorded foreign IO time is
596 * over a certain threshold, the switch verdict is given.
