Subject: [RFC][PATCH 0/7] some random writeback fixes
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
List-ID: <linux-kernel.vger.kernel.org>
X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org

Hi all,

These are some writeback fixes based on the latest linux-next without
the vm.max_writeback_mb knob, since I'm not aware of any strong reasons
for introducing it. Instead, the MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES is directly increased
to 64MB.

Other patches are straightforward. Needs more tests but it's enough to show
the basic ideas. Comments are welcome!

Thanks,
Fengguang
