| H A D | fs-writeback.c | 4cbec4c8 Tue Oct 26 16:21:45 CDT 2010 Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> writeback: remove the internal 5% low bound on dirty_ratio
The dirty_ratio was silently limited in global_dirty_limits() to >= 5%.
This is not a user expected behavior. And it's inconsistent with
calc_period_shift(), which uses the plain vm_dirty_ratio value.
Let's remove the internal bound.
At the same time, fix balance_dirty_pages() to work with the
dirty_thresh=0 case. This allows applications to proceed when
dirty+writeback pages are all cleaned.
And ">" fits with the name "exceeded" better than ">=" does. Neil thinks
it is an aesthetic improvement as well as a functional one :)
