[PATCH 16/17] mm: create /vm/dirty_pressure in debugfs

[Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: mm-debugfs-dirty-pressure.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1640 bytes --]

Create /debug/vm/ -- a convenient place for kernel hackers to play with
VM variables.

The first exported is vm_dirty_pressure for avoiding excessive pageout()s.
It ranges from 0 to 1024, the lower value, the lower dirty limit.
