474This value controls the minimum number of pdflush threads.

476At boot time, the kernel will create and maintain 'nr_pdflush_threads_min'
477threads for the kernel's lifetime.

488This value controls the maximum number of pdflush threads that can be

490this maximum) if no pdflush threads have been available for >= 1 second.
