1267 * = (pos_ratio - 1) * dirty_ratelimit
1269 * which reflects the direction and size of dirty position error.
1273 * dirty_ratelimit will follow balanced_dirty_ratelimit iff
1274 * task_ratelimit is on the same side of dirty_ratelimit, too.
1275 * For example, when

1277 * - dirty_ratelimit > task_ratelimit (dirty pages are above setpoint)
1278 * lowering dirty_ratelimit will help meet both the position and rate
1279 * control targets. Otherwise, don't update dirty_ratelimit if it will
1280 * only help meet the rate target. After all, what the users ultimately
1281 * feel and care are stable dirty rate and small position error.
1283 * |task_ratelimit - dirty_ratelimit| is used to limit the step size
1284 * and filter out the singular points of balanced_dirty_ratelimit. Which
1285 * keeps jumping around randomly and can even leap far away at times
1286 * due to the small 200ms estimation period of dirty_rate (we want to
1287 * keep that period small to reduce time lags).
