writeback: let trace_balance_dirty_pages() take struct dtc as parameter
Patch series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb", v2.
In my experiment, I found that the output of trace_balance_dirty_pages()
in the cgroup writeback scenario was strange because
trace_balance_dirty_pages() always uses global_wb_domain.dirty_limit for
related calculations instead of the dirty_limit of the corresponding
memcg's wb_domain.
The basic idea of the fix is to store the hard dirty limit value computed
in wb_position_ratio() into struct dirty_throttle_control and use it for
calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages().
This patch (of 3):
Currently, trace_balance_dirty_pages() already has 12 parameters. In the
patch #3, I initially attempted to introduce an additional parameter.
However, in include/linux/trace_events.h, bpf_trace_run12() only supports
up to 12 parameters and bpf_trace_run13() does not exist.
To reduce the number of parameters in trace_balance_dirty_pages(), we can
make it accept a pointer to struct dirty_throttle_control as a parameter.
To achieve this, we need to move the definition of struct
dirty_throttle_control from mm/page-writeback.c to
include/linux/writeback.h.
