Subject: [PATCH 04/47] writeback: consolidate variable names in balance_dirty_pages()
Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2010 14:42:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101213064837.404605715@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20101213064249.648862451@intel.com

[-- Attachment #1: writeback-cleanup-name-merge.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3541 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.
