3.2.67-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx> commit ed6d7c8e578331cad594ee70d60e2e146b5dce7b upstream. There's only one caller of set_page_dirty_balance() and that will call it with page_mkwrite == 0. The page_mkwrite argument was unused since commit b827e496c893 "mm: close page_mkwrite races".
