- * @wbc: writeback_control of interest
+ * wbc_detach_inode - disassociate wbc from inode and perform foreign detection
+ * @wbc: writeback_control of the just finished writeback
*
* To be called after a writeback attempt of an inode finishes and undoes
* wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode(). Can be called under any context.
+ *
+ * As concurrent write sharing of an inode is expected to be very rare and
+ * memcg only tracks page ownership on first-use basis severely confining
+ * the usefulness of such sharing, cgroup writeback tracks ownership
+ * per-inode. While the support for concurrent write sharing of an inode
+ * is deemed unnecessary, an inode being written to by different cgroups at
+ * different points in time is a lot more common, and, more importantly,
+ * charging only by first-use can too readily lead to grossly incorrect
+ * behaviors (single foreign page can lead to gigabytes of writeback to be
+ * incorrectly attributed).
+ *
+ * To resolve this issue, cgroup writeback detects the majority dirtier of
+ * an inode and transfers the ownership to it. To avoid unnnecessary
+ * oscillation, the detection mechanism keeps track of history and gives
+ * out the switch verdict only if the foreign usage pattern is stable over
+ * a certain amount of time and/or writeback attempts.
+ *
+ * On each writeback attempt, @wbc tries to detect the majority writer
+ * using Boyer-Moore majority vote algorithm. In addition to the byte
+ * count from the majority voting, it also counts the bytes written for the
+ * current wb and the last round's winner wb (max of last round's current
+ * wb, the winner from two rounds ago, and the last round's majority
+ * candidate). Keeping track of the historical winner helps the algorithm
+ * to semi-reliably detect the most active writer even when it's not the
+ * absolute majority.
+ *
+ * Once the winner of the round is determined, whether the winner is
+ * foreign or not and how much IO time the round consumed is recorded in
+ * inode->i_wb_frn_history. If the amount of recorded foreign IO time is
+ * over a certain threshold, the switch verdict is given.
