Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 03/17] mm: Prepare balance_dirty_pages() for async buffered writes
Date: Fri, 20 May 2022 11:36:32 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>

From: Jan Kara <[email protected]>

If balance_dirty_pages() gets called for async buffered write, we don't
want to wait. Instead we need to indicate to the caller that throttling
is needed so that it can stop writing and offload the rest of the write
to a context that can block.
