[f2fs-dev] [PATCH] f2fs: fix dirty page accounting when redirty

[Chao Yu]

We should de-account dirty counters for page when redirty in ->writepage().

Wu Fengguang described in 'commit 971767caf632190f77a40b4011c19948232eed75':
"writeback: fix dirtied pages accounting on redirty
De-account the accumulative dirty counters on page redirty.

Page redirties (very common in ext4) will introduce mismatch between
counters (a) and (b)

a) NR_DIRTIED, BDI_DIRTIED, tsk->nr_dirtied
b) NR_WRITTEN, BDI_WRITTEN

This will introduce systematic errors in balanced_rate and result in
dirty page position errors (ie. the dirty pages are no longer balanced
around the global/bdi setpoints)."
