+ * The 1/4 region under the global dirty thresh is for smooth dirty throttling:
+ *
+ *      (thresh - thresh/DIRTY_FULL_SCOPE, thresh)
+ *
+ * The 1/16 region above the global dirty limit will be put to maximum pauses:
+ *
+ *      (limit, limit + limit/DIRTY_MAXPAUSE_AREA)
+ *
+ * The 1/16 region above the max-pause region, dirty exceeded bdi's will be put
+ * to loops:
+ *
+ *      (limit + limit/DIRTY_MAXPAUSE_AREA, limit + limit/DIRTY_PASSGOOD_AREA)
+ *
+ * Further beyond, all dirtier tasks will enter a loop waiting (possibly long
+ * time) for the dirty pages to drop, unless written enough pages.
+ *
+ * The global dirty threshold is normally equal to the global dirty limit,
+ * except when the system suddenly allocates a lot of anonymous memory and
+ * knocks down the global dirty threshold quickly, in which case the global
+ * dirty limit will follow down slowly to prevent livelocking all dirtier tasks.
