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.
