Ah, this breaks the unlimited writeback.
So, nevermind my comment.

Seems like I misread writeback_limit_store() a bit.

So, if I want to, say, let only 10M of writteback pages, I need to
do

echo 0 > writeback_limit
echo 10M > writeback_limit_store// memparse format is for
// simplicity only; I know
// it should be in 4K units.

every day. How about dropping the "echo 0" and ->stop_writeback?
So then we can just do

echo 10M > writeback_limit_store

every day: if we have ->bd_wb_limit budget then we writeback,
   otherwise we don't.

Do we need ->stop_writeback? It should be identical to

atomic64_read(>stats.bd_wb_limit) == 0


Otherwise, looks good!
