457 * per-inode. While the support for concurrent write sharing of an inode

460 * charging only by first-use can too readily lead to grossly incorrect
461 * behaviors (single foreign page can lead to gigabytes of writeback to be
462 * incorrectly attributed).
464 * To resolve this issue, cgroup writeback detects the majority dirtier of
465 * an inode and transfers the ownership to it. To avoid unnnecessary
466 * oscillation, the detection mechanism keeps track of history and gives
467 * out the switch verdict only if the foreign usage pattern is stable over

473 * current wb and the last round's winner wb (max of last round's current
474 * wb, the winner from two rounds ago, and the last round's majority
475 * candidate). Keeping track of the historical winner helps the algorithm
476 * to semi-reliably detect the most active writer even when it's not the
