Subject: [PATCH 3/6] writeback: make nr_to_write a per-file limit
Date: Wed, 04 May 2011 17:17:10 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110504091909.520602641@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110504091707.910929441@intel.com

[-- Attachment #1: writeback-single-file-limit.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2003 bytes --]

This ensures large dirty files can be written in the full 4MB writeback
chunk size, rather than whatever remained quota in wbc->nr_to_write.
