[patch 6/6] mm: bdi: allow setting a maximum for the bdi dirty limit
From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Tue Jan 29 2008 - 10:52:36 EST
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>
Add "max_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi. This indicates the maximum
percentage of the global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi.
[mszeredi@xxxxxxx]
- fix parsing in max_ratio_store().
- export bdi_set_max_ratio() to modules
- limit bdi_dirty with bdi->max_ratio
- document new sysfs attribute
