    [PATCH] writeback tunables · e3e529bf
    Andrew Morton authored
    Adds five sysctls for tuning the writeback behaviour:
    
    	dirty_async_ratio
    	dirty_background_ratio
    	dirty_sync_ratio
    	dirty_expire_centisecs
    	dirty_writeback_centisecs
    
    these are described in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt  They are
    basically the tradiditional knobs which we've always had...
    
    We are accreting a ton of obsolete sysctl numbers under /proc/sys/vm/.
    I didn't recycle these - just mark them unused and remove the obsolete
    documentation.
