Subject: [Bug 86471] drastic reduction of write performance after the termination of mysqld

--- Comment #6 from Markus Königshaus <m.koenigshaus@wut.de> ---
I think I have found the error. The kernel calls apparently for the same page
dec_zone_page_state on (page, NR_FILE_DIRTY) twice, which means that the dirty
page counter underflows (is getting negative):

The writeback - mechanism thinks that too much pages are dirty and disables the
writeback - cache.
Who can I send this bug?
