Subject: [PATCH 06/17] writeback: move task dirty fraction to balance_dirty_pages()
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 2010 23:49:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100912155203.524811417@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100912154945.758129106@intel.com

[-- Attachment #1: writeback-task-weight.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1990 bytes --]

This is simple code refactor preparing for a trace event that exposes
the fraction info. It may be merged with the next patch eventually.
