Prev: [PATCH 0/2] Adding four writeback files in /proc/sys/vm
Next: [PATCH 2/2] writeback: Adding four read-only files to /proc/sys/vm
From: Michael Rubin on 3 Aug 2010 18:30
Exporting account_pages_dirty and adding a symmetric routine
account_pages_writeback.

This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page state
and not worry about the other accounting. Not using these routines means
that some code will lose track of the accounting and we get bugs.

These routines are in use by ceph and nilfs2.
