Abstract
Regulating maintenance background (BG) task activity using instrumented waiting points (WPs) can include: collecting feedback metrics for the WPs, where each WP is instrumented to collect a set of feedback metrics including an average waiting time and a first value denoting a portion of resource requests received at the WP which are from maintenance BG tasks; determining, in accordance with criteria and collected feedback metrics, whether the criteria is true for at least a first WP associated with a set of feedback metrics, wherein the criteria includes determining whether the first WP has an associated average waiting time of the set which exceeds a waiting time threshold, and whether the first WP has a share of maintenance BG requests exceeding a minimum; and responsive to determining that the criteria is true for at least the first WP, performing processing to reduce a current activity level of said maintenance BG tasks.
