Subject: [PATCH 06/35] writeback: consolidate variable names in balance_dirty_pages()
Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2010 22:46:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101213150327.090779080@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20101213144646.341970461@intel.com
[-- Attachment #1: writeback-cleanup-name-merge.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3545 bytes --]
Lots of lengthy tests.. Let's compact the names
nr_dirty = NR_FILE_DIRTY + NR_WRITEBACK + NR_UNSTABLE_NFS
balance_dirty_pages() only cares about the above dirty sum except
in one place -- on starting background writeback.
