Needs a better name. ZONE_DIRTY_CONGESTED ?


That might be confusing. The underlying BDI is not necessarily
congested. I accept your point though and will try thinking of a better
name.

ZONE_LOTS_DIRTY ?


I had changed it to

         ZONE_TAIL_LRU_DIRTY,            /* reclaim scanning has recently found
                                          * many dirty file pages at the tail
                                          * of the LRU.
                                          */

Is that reasonable?

Works for me.
