      "message": "mm: per device dirty threshold\n\nScale writeback cache per backing device, proportional to its writeout speed.\n\nBy decoupling the BDI dirty thresholds a number of problems we currently have\nwill go away, namely:\n\n - mutual interference starvation (for any number of BDIs);\n - deadlocks with stacked BDIs (loop, FUSE and local NFS mounts).\n\nIt might be that all dirty pages are for a single BDI while other BDIs are\nidling. By giving each BDI a \u0027fair\u0027 share of the dirty limit, each one can have\ndirty pages outstanding and make progress.\n\nA global threshold also creates a deadlock for stacked BDIs; when A writes to\nB, and A generates enough dirty pages to get throttled, B will never start\nwriteback until the dirty pages go away. Again, by giving each BDI its own\n\u0027independent\u0027 dirty limit, this problem is avoided.\n\nSo the problem is to determine how to distribute the total dirty limit across\nthe BDIs fairly and efficiently. A DBI that has a large dirty limit but does\nnot have any dirty pages outstanding is a waste.\n\nWhat is done is to keep a floating proportion between the DBIs based on\nwriteback completions. This way faster/more active devices get a larger share\nthan slower/idle devices.\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings]\n[hugh@veritas.com: Fix occasional hang when a task couldn\u0027t get out of balance_dirty_pages]\nSigned-off-by: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n"

      "message": "nfs: remove congestion_end()\n\nThese patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three\nissues:\n  1) inter device starvation\n  2) stacked device deadlocks\n  3) inter process starvation\n\n1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using\nper device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will\nno longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit\nis broken.\n\nIn order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant\ndevices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total\nlimit proportional to the device\u0027s recent activity.\n\n3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task\u0027s\nrecent dirty rate.\n\nThis patch:\n\nnfs: remove congestion_end().
