The prop_local_percpu::lock can be taken in atomic context and therefore
cannot be preempted on -rt - annotate it.In mainline this change documents the low level nature of
the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep
and Sparse checking will work as usual.Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

Impact: fix lockdep false positives
Classify percpu_counter instances similar to regular lock objects --
that is, per instantiation site.The networking code has increased its use of percpu_counters, which
leads to false positives if they are treated as a single class.Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra

Add "max_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi. This indicates the maximum percentage of
the global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi.[mszeredi@suse.cz]
- fix parsing in max_ratio_store().
- export bdi_set_max_ratio() to modules
- limit bdi_dirty with bdi->max_ratio
- document new sysfs attributeSigned-off-by: Peter Zijlstra

Zhe Jiang noticed that its possible to underflow pl->events in
prop_norm_percpu() when the value returned by percpu_counter_read() is less
than the error on that read and the period delay > 1. In that case half might
not trigger the batch increment and the value will be identical on the next
iteration, causing the same half to be subtracted again and again.Fix this by rewriting the division as a single subtraction instead of a
subtraction loop and using percpu_counter_sum() when the value returned by
percpu_counter_read() is smaller than the error.The latter is still needed if we want pl->events to shrink properly in the
error region.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanups]

Given a set of objects, floating proportions aims to efficiently give the
proportional 'activity' of a single item as compared to the whole set. Where
'activity' is a measure of a temporal property of the items.It is efficient in that it need not inspect any other items of the set
in order to provide the answer. It is not even needed to know how many
other items there are.It has one parameter, and that is the period of 'time' over which the
'activity' is measured.Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra
