- * Work out the current dirty-memory clamping and background writeout

- *
- * The main aim here is to lower them aggressively if there is a lot of mapped
- * memory around.  To avoid stressing page reclaim with lots of unreclaimable
- * pages.  It is better to clamp down on writers than to start swapping, and
- * performing lots of scanning.
- *
- * We only allow 1/2 of the currently-unmapped memory to be dirtied.
- *
- * We don't permit the clamping level to fall below 5% - that is getting rather
- * excessive.
- *
- * We make sure that the background writeout level is below the adjusted
- * clamping level.
