[lustre-devel] [PATCH 02/17] staging: lustre: fix bug in osc_enter_cache_try

[NeilBrown]

The lustre-release patch commit bdc5bb52c554 ("LU-4933 osc:
Automatically increase the max_dirty_mb") changed

-       if (cli->cl_dirty + PAGE_CACHE_SIZE <= cli->cl_dirty_max &&
+       if (cli->cl_dirty_pages < cli->cl_dirty_max_pages &&

When this patch landed in Linux a couple of years later, it landed as

-       if (cli->cl_dirty + PAGE_SIZE <= cli->cl_dirty_max &&
+       if (cli->cl_dirty_pages <= cli->cl_dirty_max_pages &&

which is clearly different ('<=' vs '<'), and allows cl_dirty_pages to
increase beyond cl_dirty_max_pages - which causes a latter assertion
to fails.
