[PATCH 0/2] fix pdflush races and enhancement v2

[Peter W Morreale]

Update of pdflush series, changes since last post:

o Change upper bound patch to include update of last_empty_jifs to throttle 
thread creation to one per second.

o Change new sysctls to use CTL_UNNUMBERED per Andrew Morton

o Use proc_dointvec_minmax and tie bounds of min and max threads to 
the current min/max.  Otherwise the possible combinations of actual
threads makes my head hurt.

o Update Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt with the new entries


Peter W Morreale (2):
      Add /proc controls for pdflush threads
      Fix pdflush thread creation upper bound.
