Subject[PATCH 3.15 73/84] f2fs: check bdi->dirty_exceeded when trying to skip data writes
Date
3.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>

commit 2743f865543c0c4a5e12fc13edb2bf89a6e9687c upstream.

If we don't check the current backing device status, balance_dirty_pages can
fall into infinite pausing routine.

This can be occurred when a lot of directories make a small number of dirty
dentry pages including files.
