Subject: fs: add dirtytime_expire_seconds sysctl
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1efff914afac8a965ad63817ecf8861a927c2ace;p=linux-beck.git

fs: add dirtytime_expire_seconds sysctl

Add a tuning knob so we can adjust the dirtytime expiration timeout,
which is very useful for testing lazytime.
