This was a + * deliberate design decision because honoring per-page ownership in the + * writeback path is complicated, may lead to higher CPU and IO overheads + * and deemed unnecessary given that write-sharing an inode across + * different cgroups isn't a common use-case. + * + * Combined with inode majority-writer ownership switching, this works well + * enough in most cases but there are some pathological cases. For + * example, let's say there are two cgroups A and B which keep writing to + * different but confined parts of the same inode. B owns the inode and + * A's memory is limited far below B's. A's dirty ratio can rise enough to + * trigger balance_dirty_pages() sleeps but B's can be low enough to avoid + * triggering background writeback. A will be slowed down without a way to + * make writeback of the dirty pages happen. + * + * Conditions like the above can lead to a cgroup getting repatedly and + * severely throttled after making some progress after each + * dirty_expire_interval while the underyling IO device is almost + * completely idle. + * + * Solving this problem completely requires matching the ownership tracking + * granularities between memcg and writeback in either direction.
