[PATCH 4/5] writeback: memcg dirty_throttle_control should be initialized with wb->memcg_completions

Show all headers | View raw

MDTC_INIT() is used to initialize dirty_throttle_control for memcg
domains.  It used DTC_INIT_COMMON() to initialized mdtc->wb and
->wb_completions which is incorrect as DTC_INIT_COMMON() sets the
latter to wb->completions instead of wb->memcg_completions.  This can
lead to wildly incorrect results when calculating the proportion of
dirty memory the memcg domain should get.

Remove DTC_INIT_COMMON() and update MDTC_INIT() to initialize
mdtc->wb_completions to wb->memcg_completions.
