Since now bdi->min_ratio is part per million, fix the wrong arithmetic. Otherwise it will fail with -EINVAL when setting a reasonable min_ratio, as it tries to set min_ratio to (min_ratio * BDI_RATIO_SCALE) in percentage unit, which exceeds 100% anyway. # cat /sys/class/bdi/253\:0/min_ratio 0 # cat /sys/class/bdi/253\:0/max_ratio 100 # echo 1 > /sys/class/bdi/253\:0/min_ratio -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Fixes: 8021fb3232f2 ("mm: split off __bdi_set_min_ratio() function") Reported-by: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jingbo Xu <jefflexu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- mm/page-writeback.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/mm/page-writeback.c b/mm/page-writeback.c index ee2fd6a6af40..2140382dd768 100644 --- a/mm/page-writeback.c +++ b/mm/page-writeback.c @@ -692,7 +692,6 @@ static int __bdi_set_min_ratio(struct backing_dev_info *bdi, unsigned int min_ra if (min_ratio > 100 * BDI_RATIO_SCALE) return -EINVAL; - min_ratio *= BDI_RATIO_SCALE; spin_lock_bh(&bdi_lock); if (min_ratio > bdi->max_ratio) { -- 2.19.1.6.gb485710b
