[merged] ceph-remove-reliance-on-bdi-congestion.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The patch titled
     Subject: ceph: remove reliance on bdi congestion
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ceph-remove-reliance-on-bdi-congestion.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
Subject: ceph: remove reliance on bdi congestion

The bdi congestion tracking in not widely used and will be removed.

CEPHfs is one of a small number of filesystems that uses it, setting just
the async (write) congestion flags at what it determines are appropriate
times.

The only remaining effect of the async flag is to cause (some)
WB_SYNC_NONE writes to be skipped.

So instead of setting the flag, set an internal flag and change:
 - .writepages to do nothing if WB_SYNC_NONE and the flag is set
 - .writepage to return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE if WB_SYNC_NONE
    and the flag is set.

The writepages change causes a behavioural change in that pageout() can
now return PAGE_ACTIVATE instead of PAGE_KEEP, so SetPageActive() will be
called on the page which (I think) wil further delay the next attempt at
writeout.  This might be a good thing.
