162 * The main aim here is to lower them aggressively if there is a lot of mapped

164 * pages. It is better to clamp down on writers than to start swapping, and
165 * performing lots of scanning.
166 *
167 * We only allow 1/2 of the currently-unmapped memory to be dirtied.
168 *
169 * We don't permit the clamping level to fall below 5% - that is getting rather
170 * excessive.

172 * We make sure that the background writeout level is below the adjusted
173 * clamping level.
