People have been asking to see the plan for this, so - bcachefs has various background tasks that need to be scheduled to balance efficiency, predictability of performance, etc. The design and philosophy hasn't changed too much since bcache, which was primarily designed for server usage, with sustained load in mind. These days we're seeing more desktop usage - where we really want to let the system idle effictively, to reduce total power usage - while also still balancing previous concerns, we still want to let work accumulate to a degree. This lays out all the requirements and starts to sketch out the algorithm I have in mind. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@linux.dev>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
