Andrew,

This revision undergoes a number of simplifications, cleanups and fixes.
Independent patches are separated out. The core patches (07, 08) now have
easier to understand changelog. Detailed rationals can be found in patch 08.

In response to the complexity complaints, an introduction document is
written explaining the rationals, algorithm and visual case studies:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/wfg/writeback/slides/smooth-dirty-throttling.pdf

It'd be great if you wrote a summary in the kernel documentation.

Perhaps not in this stage. That will only frighten people away I'm
afraid. The main concerns now are "why the complexities?". People at
this time perhaps won't bother looking into any lengthy documents at
all.


For the moment ok if you think we are in a not-ready-for-mainline yet. But for the final version the documentation would be welcome, maybe with the pdf as reference. The documentation is always the last thing but it's important! :)
