Right now wbuf timer has hardcoded timeouts and there is no place for
|
|
manual adjustments. Some projects / cases many need that though. Few
|
|
file systems allow doing that by respecting dirty_writeback_interval
|
|
that can be set using sysctl (dirty_writeback_centisecs).
|
|
|
|
Lowering dirty_writeback_interval could be some way of dealing with user
|
|
space apps lacking proper fsyncs. This is definitely *not* a perfect
|
|
solution but we don't have ideal (user space) world. There were already
|
|
advanced discussions on this matter, mostly when ext4 was introduced and
|
|
it wasn't behaving as ext3. Anyway, the final decision was to add some
|
|
hacks to the ext4, as trying to fix whole user space or adding new API
|
|
was pointless.
|
|
|
|
We can't (and shouldn't?) just follow ext4. We can't e.g. sync on close
|
|
as this would cause too many commits and flash wearing. On the other
|
|
hand we still should allow some trade-off between -o sync and default
|
|
wbuf timeout. Respecting dirty_writeback_interval should allow some sane
|
|
cutomizations if used warily.
