+Contact: Stefan Roesch <[email protected]>
+Description:
+ Forces per-BDI checks for the share of given device in the write-back
+ cache even before the global background dirty limit is reached. This
+ is useful in situations where the global limit is much higher than
+ affordable for given relatively slow (or untrusted) device. Turning
+ strictlimit on has no visible effect if max_ratio is equal to 100%.
