591 * As concurrent write sharing of an inode is expected to be very rare and
592 * memcg only tracks page ownership on first-use basis severely confining
593 * the usefulness of such sharing, cgroup writeback tracks ownership
594 * per-inode. While the support for concurrent write sharing of an inode
595 * is deemed unnecessary, an inode being written to by different cgroups at
596 * different points in time is a lot more common, and, more importantly,
597 * charging only by first-use can too readily lead to grossly incorrect
598 * behaviors (single foreign page can lead to gigabytes of writeback to be
599 * incorrectly attributed).
601 * To resolve this issue, cgroup writeback detects the majority dirtier of
602 * an inode and transfers the ownership to it. To avoid unnnecessary
603 * oscillation, the detection mechanism keeps track of history and gives
604 * out the switch verdict only if the foreign usage pattern is stable over
605 * a certain amount of time and/or writeback attempts.
607 * On each writeback attempt, @wbc tries to detect the majority writer
608 * using Boyer-Moore majority vote algorithm. In addition to the byte
609 * count from the majority voting, it also counts the bytes written for the
610 * current wb and the last round's winner wb (max of last round's current
611 * wb, the winner from two rounds ago, and the last round's majority
612 * candidate). Keeping track of the historical winner helps the algorithm
613 * to semi-reliably detect the most active writer even when it's not the
614 * absolute majority.
616 * Once the winner of the round is determined, whether the winner is
617 * foreign or not and how much IO time the round consumed is recorded in
618 * inode->i_wb_frn_history. If the amount of recorded foreign IO time is
