The change introduced by the patch is evident in the kernel message log for
Thread 0:
between page indexes 2 and 1 there's now another function call to
write_cache_pages()
instead of just another iteration of the for-loop inside one call.
Original kernel:
[ 695.276320] Thread 0 running, TID = 3293!
[ 695.281210] kp1_pre_handler():070 :: state 1 .... :: pid = 1165, mapping =
0xffff962333263730, comm = 'kworker/u4:2'
[ 695.299026] kp1_pre_handler():101 :: state 1 -> 2 :: pid = 1165, mapping =
0xffff962333263730, comm ('kworker/u4:2') is kworker AND wbc->range_cyclic
(0x1) is true AND mapping->writeback_index (0x2) is 0x2.
[ 695.314808] kp2_pre_handler():119 :: state 2 .... :: pid = 1165, page index =
