Patch series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb", v2. In my experiment, I found that the output of trace_balance_dirty_pages() in the cgroup writeback scenario was strange because trace_balance_dirty_pages() always uses global_wb_domain.dirty_limit for related calculations instead of the dirty_limit of the corresponding memcg's wb_domain. The basic idea of the fix is to store the hard dirty limit value computed in wb_position_ratio() into struct dirty_throttle_control and use it for calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages(). This patch (of 3): Currently, trace_balance_dirty_pages() already has 12 parameters. In the patch #3, I initially attempted to introduce an additional parameter. However, in include/linux/trace_events.h, bpf_trace_run12() only supports up to 12 parameters and bpf_trace_run13() does not exist. To reduce the number of parameters in trace_balance_dirty_pages(), we can make it accept a pointer to struct dirty_throttle_control as a parameter. To achieve this, we need to move the definition of struct dirty_throttle_control from mm/page-writeback.c to include/linux/writeback.h.
