Hi Tejun,

Great Work. I tried to do some basic testing and it seems to work.

I used "review-cgroup-writeback-switch-20150322" branch for my testing.

I have 32G of RAM on my system and I setup a write bandwidth of 1MB/s
on the disk and allowed a dd to run. That dd quickly consumed 5G of
page cache before it reached to a steady state. Sounds like too much
of cache consumption which will be drained at a speed of 1MB/s. Not
sure if this is expected or bdi back-pressure is not being applied soon
enough.

Thanks
Vivek
