Re: [PATCH 2/4] writeback: allow for dirty metadata accounting

Hi Josef,

as we talked off line, I think the idea of maintaining a byte counter
and rounding in balance_dirty_pages() is the best way to do this. And
Jan spotted all the actual bugs, so I only have a few nitpicks :)

Print NR_METADATA_WRITEBACK here as well?

Between the enums and stat printing, the naming is kind of all over
the place. How about NR_META_DIRTY_BYTES and NR_META_WRITEBACK_BYTES
as a separate group than the existing dirty & writeback stats?
