From f56c995174cf42d84fdad06beebacd56e700b05d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:37:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] vfs: Add a trace point in the mark_inode_dirty function PowerTOP would like to be able to show who is keeping the disk busy by dirtying data. The most logical spot for this is in the vfs in the mark_inode_dirty() function, doing this on the block level is not possible because by the time the IO hits the block layer the guilty party can no longer be found ("kjournald" and "pdflush" are not useful answers to "who caused this file to be dirty). The trace point follows the same logic/style as the block_dump code and pretty much dumps the same data, just not to dmesg (and thus to /var/log/messages) but via the trace events streams.
