    f2fs: throttle the memory footprint with a sysfs entry · cdfc41c1
    Jaegeuk Kim 提交于
    This patch introduces ram_thresh, a sysfs entry, which controls the memory
    footprint used by the free nid list and the nat cache.
    
    Previously, the free nid list was controlled by MAX_FREE_NIDS, while the nat
    cache was managed by NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD.
    However, this approach cannot be applied dynamically according to the system.
    
    So, this patch adds ram_thresh that users can specify the threshold, which is
    in order of 1 / 1024.
    For example, if the total ram size is 4GB and the value is set to 10 by default,
    f2fs tries to control the number of free nids and nat caches not to consume over
    10 * (4GB / 1024) = 10MB.
