[PATCH 1/3] mm/page-writeback.c: Rename BANDWIDTH_INTERVAL to UPDATE_INTERVAL

There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH 1/3] mm/page-writeback.c: Rename BANDWIDTH_INTERVAL to UPDATE_INTERVAL
Posted by Tang Yizhou 1 month, 3 weeks ago
From: Tang Yizhou <yizhou.tang@shopee.com>

The name of the BANDWIDTH_INTERVAL macro is misleading, as it is not
only used in the bandwidth update functions wb_update_bandwidth() and
__wb_update_bandwidth(), but also in the dirty limit update function
domain_update_dirty_limit().

Rename BANDWIDTH_INTERVAL to UPDATE_INTERVAL to make things clear.

This patche doesn't introduce any behavioral changes.

Umm, I agree BANDWIDTH_INTERVAL may be confusing but UPDATE_INTERVAL does
not seem much better to be honest. I actually have hard time coming up with
a more descriptive name so what if we settled on updating the comment only
instead of renaming to something not much better?

Thank you for your review. I agree that UPDATE_INTERVAL is not a good
name. How about
renaming it to BW_DIRTYLIMIT_INTERVAL?

Maybe WB_STAT_INTERVAL? Because it is interval in which we maintain
statistics about writeback behavior.

I don't think this is a good name, as it suggests a relation to enum
wb_stat_item, but bandwidth and dirty limit are not in wb_stat_item.

OK, so how about keeping BANDWIDTH_INTERVAL as is and adding
DIRTY_LIMIT_INTERVAL with the same value? There's nothing which would
strictly tie them to the same value.

Good idea, but this patch has already been merged. If there is any
writeback-related code that needs to be modified next time, I will
update this part as well.
