Subject: [PATCH 02/13] writeback: consolidate variable names in balance_dirty_pages()
Andrew,
References: <20101117035821.000579293@...el.com>
Content-Disposition: inline; filename=writeback-cleanup-name-merge.patch
Lots of lenthy tests.. Let's compact the names
*_dirty = NR_FILE_DIRTY + NR_WRITEBACK + NR_UNSTABLE_NFS
balance_dirty_pages() only cares about the above dirty sum except
in one place -- on starting background writeback.
