Nikita has a customer using large percentage of RAM for a kernel module, which results in get_dirty_limits() misbehaviour

It should work on the amount of cacheable pages instead.

He's got a patch but I dont remember the URL. Nikita?


Indeed. This patch has a couple of little problems anyway, and
probably does not logicaly belong as part of this series.

I'll work on previous 2 more important patches first.

My patch should probably go on top of more fundamental work
like Nikita's patch.

Thanks,
Nick
