      [PATCH] VM dirty page balancing · 9ae30597
      Andrew Morton authored
      - The balance_dirty_pages() logic is simply wrong.  It goes:
      
      	if (value > threshold)
      		go_and_write(value - threshold);
      
        which is just fine for a single process writing data.  But
        for many processes, they *all* go and bring things back into
        balance, and too much data gets written out.
      
      - The
      
      	go_and_write(this much)
      
        logic is inoperative, because I turned off the ->writeback_mapping()
        function in ext2.  So a call to writeback_unlocked_inodes(this_much)
        doesn't actually decrement and test *this_much.  It will walk every
        inode, all the time.  Silly.
      
      So quickly fixing the above things, the amount of dirty+writeback
      memory in the machine nicely stabilises at 500 megabytes across
      the run.

      Andrew Morton authored
      The new consistency checks in buffer.c are complaining about
      block_symlink's ->readpage against an already uptodate
      page.
