Subject: [PATCH 5/9] writeback: consolidate variable names in balance_dirty_pages()
Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:52:50 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110629145554.168078193@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110629145245.835998321@intel.com

[-- Attachment #1: writeback-cleanup-name-merge.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2684 bytes --]

Introduce

	nr_dirty = NR_FILE_DIRTY + NR_WRITEBACK + NR_UNSTABLE_NFS

in order to simplify many tests in the following patches.

balance_dirty_pages() will eventually care only about the dirty sums
besides nr_writeback.
