From b5c872ddb7083c7909fb76a170c3807e04564bb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2013 19:08:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] writeback: expose the bdi_wq workqueue There are cases where userland wants to tweak the priority and affinity of writeback flushers. Expose bdi_wq to userland by setting WQ_SYSFS. It appears under /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/writeback/ and allows adjusting maximum concurrency level, cpumask and nice level.
