Subject: [PATCH v2 10/11] writeback: make determine_dirtyable_memory() static.
Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2010 14:14:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1287177279-30876-11-git-send-email-gthelen@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1287177279-30876-1-git-send-email-gthelen@google.com>

The determine_dirtyable_memory() function is not used outside of
page writeback.  Make the routine static.  No functional change.
Just a cleanup in preparation for a change that adds memcg dirty
limits consideration into global_dirty_limits().
