Jan Kara 2f1f31042e nfs: Block on write congestion 
Commit 6df25e5853 ("nfs: remove reliance on bdi congestion")
introduced NFS-private solution for limiting number of writes
outstanding against a particular server. Unlike previous bdi congestion
this algorithm actually works and limits number of outstanding writeback
pages to nfs_congestion_kb which scales with amount of client's memory
and is capped at 256 MB. As a result some workloads such as random
buffered writes over NFS got slower (from ~170 MB/s to ~126 MB/s). The
fio command to reproduce is:

fio --direct=0 --ioengine=sync --thread --invalidate=1 --group_reporting=1
  --runtime=300 --fallocate=posix --ramp_time=10 --new_group --rw=randwrite
  --size=64256m --numjobs=4 --bs=4k --fsync_on_close=1 --end_fsync=1

This happens because the client sends ~256 MB worth of dirty pages to
the server and any further background writeback request is ignored until
the number of writeback pages gets below the threshold of 192 MB. By the
time this happens and clients decides to trigger another round of
writeback, the server often has no pages to write and the disk is idle.

To fix this problem and make the client react faster to eased congestion
of the server by blocking waiting for congestion to resolve instead of
aborting writeback. This improves the random 4k buffered write
throughput to 184 MB/s.

README 

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.
