While\nprobably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large\nnumbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit\nfrom larger numbers of threads working on different block devices.\n\nEven if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is\nstill likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still\ndesire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the\nkernel.\n\nThe patch adds \u0027/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min\u0027 and\n\u0027/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max\u0027 with r/w permissions.\n\nThe minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is\nthe current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max.

This restriction is maintained, but\ndirty_bytes has a lower limit of only one page.\n\nAlso prior to this change, the dirty_background_ratio could not equal or\nexceed dirty_ratio.
