dirtytime_expire_seconds
|

|
||||
When a lazytime inode is constantly having its pages dirtied, the inode with
|
||||
an updated timestamp will never get chance to be written out. And, if the
|
||||
only thing that has happened on the file system is a dirtytime inode caused
|
||||
by an atime update, a worker will be scheduled to make sure that inode
|
||||
eventually gets pushed out to disk. This tunable is used to define when dirty
|
||||
inode is old enough to be eligible for writeback by the kernel flusher threads.
|
||||
And, it is also used as the interval to wakeup dirtytime_writeback thread.
