Hi, These patches are mainly seperated out from the original IO-less writeback patchset. They are general useful as standalone improvements. This series is based on the write bandwidth patches posted at https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/6/12/69 They'll appear in this git branch after a while, and be posted in one single series for the next version. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/writeback.git fs-writeback cleanups [PATCH 1/7] writeback: consolidate variable names in balance_dirty_pages() [PATCH 2/7] writeback: add parameters to __bdi_update_bandwidth() dirty limits [PATCH 3/7] writeback: introduce smoothed global dirty limit [PATCH 4/7] writeback: introduce max-pause and pass-good dirty limits write chunk size [PATCH 5/7] writeback: make writeback_control.nr_to_write straight [PATCH 6/7] writeback: scale IO chunk size up to half device bandwidth dirty exceeded state [PATCH 7/7] writeback: timestamp based bdi dirty_exceeded state Thanks, Fengguang -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
