Since now bdi->min_ratio is part per million, fix the wrong arithmetic. Otherwise it will fail with -EINVAL when setting a reasonable min_ratio, as it tries to set min_ratio to (min_ratio * BDI_RATIO_SCALE) in percentage unit, which exceeds 100% anyway. # cat /sys/class/bdi/253\:0/min_ratio 0 # cat /sys/class/bdi/253\:0/max_ratio 100 # echo 1 > /sys/class/bdi/253\:0/min_ratio -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Fixes: 8021fb3232f2 ("mm: split off __bdi_set_min_ratio() function") Reported-by: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@linux.alibaba.com> Signed-off-by: Jingbo Xu <jefflexu@linux.alibaba.com> --- mm/page-writeback.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-)
