From 3a73dbbc9bb3fc8594cd67af4db6c563175dfddb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 19:19:28 +0800 Subject: writeback: fix uninitialized task_ratelimit In balance_dirty_pages() task_ratelimit may be not initialized (initialization skiped by goto pause), and then used when calling tracing hook. Fix it by moving the task_ratelimit assignment before goto pause.
