You may get an idea of the magnitude of pages_dirtied by using a chain of
BUG_ON()s, like:
BUG_ON(pages_dirtied > 2000000000);
BUG_ON(pages_dirtied > 1000000000);
BUG_ON(pages_dirtied > 100000000);
BUG_ON(pages_dirtied > 10000000);
BUG_ON(pages_dirtied > 1000000);
Probably 1 million is already too much for normal operation?
