writeback, cgroup: keep list of inodes attached to bdi_writeback
Currently there is no way to iterate over inodes attached to a specific
cgwb structure. It limits the ability to efficiently reclaim the
writeback structure itself and associated memory and block cgroup
structures without scanning all inodes belonging to a sb, which can be
prohibitively expensive.
While dirty/in-active-writeback an inode belongs to one of the
bdi_writeback's io lists: b_dirty, b_io, b_more_io and b_dirty_time. Once
cleaned up, it's removed from all io lists. So the inode->i_io_list can
be reused to maintain the list of inodes, attached to a bdi_writeback
structure.
This patch introduces a new wb->b_attached list, which contains all inodes
which were dirty at least once and are attached to the given cgwb. Inodes
attached to the root bdi_writeback structures are never placed on such
list. The following patch will use this list to try to release cgwbs
structures more efficiently.
