2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Ryusuke Konishi commit b1e19e5601277845b4f17ecd7c9ba04f73ee11aa upstream. Bruno Prémont and Dunphy, Bill noticed me that NILFS will certainly hang on ARM-based targets. I found this was caused by an underflow of dirty pages counter. A b-tree cache routine was marking page dirty without adjusting page account information. This fixes the dirty page accounting leak and resolves the hang on arm-based targets.
