From 99b12e3d882bc7ebdfe0de381dff3b16d21c38f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu Fengguang Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2011 17:12:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] writeback: account NR_WRITTEN at IO completion time NR_WRITTEN is now accounted at block IO enqueue time, which is not very accurate as to common understanding. This moves NR_WRITTEN accounting to the IO completion time and makes it more consistent with BDI_WRITTEN, which is used for bandwidth estimation.
