From 16c4042f08919f447d6b2a55679546c9b97c7264 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu Fengguang Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2010 14:17:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] writeback: avoid unnecessary calculation of bdi dirty thresholds Split get_dirty_limits() into global_dirty_limits()+bdi_dirty_limit(), so that the latter can be avoided when under global dirty background threshold (which is the normal state for most systems).
