What: /sys/class/bdi// Date: January 2008 Contact: Peter Zijlstra Description: Provide a place in sysfs for the backing_dev_info object. This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific variables. The identifier can be either of the following: MAJOR:MINOR Device number for block devices, or value of st_dev on non-block filesystems which provide their own BDI, such as NFS and FUSE. default The default backing dev, used for non-block device backed filesystems which do not provide their own BDI. Files under /sys/class/bdi// --------------------------------- read_ahead_kb (read-write) Size of the read-ahead window in kilobytes reclaimable_kb (read-only) Reclaimable (dirty or unstable) memory destined for writeback to this device writeback_kb (read-only) Memory currently under writeback to this device dirty_kb (read-only) Global threshold for reclaimable + writeback memory bdi_dirty_kb (read-only) Current threshold on this BDI for reclaimable + writeback memory min_ratio (read-write) Minimal percentage of global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi. If the value written to this file would make the the sum of all min_ratio values exceed 100, then EINVAL is returned. If min_ratio would become larger than the current max_ratio, then also EINVAL is returned. The default is zero max_ratio (read-write) Maximal percentage of global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi. If max_ratio would become smaller than the current min_ratio, then EINVAL is returned. The default is 100
