Subject: [PATCH 0/2] fix pdflush races and enhancement v2
Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2008 12:10:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081231190755.30792.24205.stgit@hermosa.site> (raw)
Update of pdflush series, changes since last post:
o Change upper bound patch to include update of last_empty_jifs to throttle
thread creation to one per second.
o Change new sysctls to use CTL_UNNUMBERED per Andrew Morton
o Use proc_dointvec_minmax and tie bounds of min and max threads to
the current min/max. Otherwise the possible combinations of actual
threads makes my head hurt.
o Update Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt with the new entries
Peter W Morreale (2):
Add /proc controls for pdflush threads
Fix pdflush thread creation upper bound.
Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
include/linux/writeback.h | 2 ++
kernel/sysctl.c | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++--
