Seems like I misread writeback_limit_store() a bit.
So, if I want to, say, let only 10M of writteback pages, I need to
do
echo 0 > writeback_limit
echo 10M > writeback_limit_store // memparse format is for
// simplicity only; I know
// it should be in 4K units.
every day. How about dropping the "echo 0" and ->stop_writeback?
So then we can just do
echo 10M > writeback_limit_store
every day: if we have ->bd_wb_limit budget then we writeback,
otherwise we don't.
