Subject: mm: set_page_dirty_balance() vs ->page_mkwrite()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a200ee182a016752464a12cb2e8762e48254bb09;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

mm: set_page_dirty_balance() vs ->page_mkwrite()

All the current page_mkwrite() implementations also set the page dirty. Which
results in the set_page_dirty_balance() call to _not_ call balance, because the
page is already found dirty.

This allows us to dirty a _lot_ of pages without ever hitting
balance_dirty_pages().  Not good (tm).

Force a balance call if ->page_mkwrite() was successful.
