One bug fix here. == From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Now, at calculating dirty limit, vm_dirty_param() is called. This function returns dirty-limit related parameters considering memory cgroup settings. Now, assume that vm_dirty_bytes=100M (global dirty limit) and memory cgroup has 1G of pages and 40 dirty_ratio, dirtyable memory is 500MB. In this case, global_dirty_limits will consider dirty_limt as 500 *0.4 = 200MB. This is bad...memory cgroup is not back door. This patch limits the return value of vm_dirty_param() considring global settings.
