This is one way of doing it.
The other one could, probabaly, be a bit more friendly to the cache
lines and CPU cycles. Basically, have a static timestamp variable,
which would keep the timestamp of last idle_store().
static idle_snapshot_ts;
static ssize_t idle_store(struct device *dev,
struct device_attribute *attr,
const char *buf, size_t len)
{
idle_snapshot_ts = ktime();
}
And then in read_block_state() compare handle access time and
idle_snapshot_ts (if it's not 0). If the page was not modified/access
since the last idle_snapshot_ts (handle access time <= idle_snapshot_ts),
then it's idle, otherwise (handle access time > idle_snapshot_ts) it's
not idle.
Would this do the trick?
