Subject: writeback: simplify and rename tracepoint balance_dirty_state to global_dirty_state
Date: Fri Dec 17 10:37:35 CST 2010
Make it a more clean interface, and also track the background flusher
when it calls over_bground_thresh() to check the global limits.
The removed information could go into tracepoint balance_dirty_pages.
