Subject: [PATCH][memcg+dirtylimit] Fix  overwriting global vm dirty limit
 setting by memcg (Re: [PATCH v3 00/11] memcg: per cgroup dirty page
 accounting


One bug fix here.
==
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@...fujitsu.com>

Now, at calculating dirty limit, vm_dirty_param() is called.
This function returns dirty-limit related parameters considering
memory cgroup settings.

Now, assume that vm_dirty_bytes=100M (global dirty limit) and
memory cgroup has 1G of pages and 40 dirty_ratio, dirtyable memory is
500MB.

In this case, global_dirty_limits will consider dirty_limt as
500 *0.4 = 200MB. This is bad...memory cgroup is not back door.

This patch limits the return value of vm_dirty_param() considring
global settings.
