[PATCH] io-accounting: write accounting
Accounting writes is fairly simple: whenever a process flips a page from clean
to dirty, we accuse it of having caused a write to underlying storage of
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE bytes.
This may overestimate the amount of writing: the page-dirtying may cause only
one buffer_head's worth of writeout. Fixing that is possible, but probably a
bit messy and isn't obviously important.
