    writeback: add missing INITIAL_JIFFIES init in global_update_bandwidth() · 7d70e154
    Tejun Heo 提交于
    global_update_bandwidth() uses static variable update_time as the
    timestamp for the last update but forgets to initialize it to
    INITIALIZE_JIFFIES.
    
    This means that global_dirty_limit will be 5 mins into the future on
    32bit and some large amount jiffies into the past on 64bit.  This
    isn't critical as the only effect is that global_dirty_limit won't be
    updated for the first 5 mins after booting on 32bit machines,
    especially given the auxiliary nature of global_dirty_limit's role -
    protecting against global dirty threshold's sudden dips; however, it
    does lead to unintended suboptimal behavior.  Fix it.
