IO tracking used to throttle writebacks when the origin device is busy. Even if all the IO is going to the fast device, writebacks can significantly degrade performance. So track all IO to gauge whether the cache is busy or not. Otherwise, synthetic IO tests (e.g. fio) that might send all IO to the fast device wouldn't cause writebacks to get throttled.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
