[PATCH] Represent dirty_*_centisecs as jiffies internally
Make that the internal values for:
/proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
/proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
are stored as jiffies instead of centiseconds. Let the sysctl interface do
the conversions with full precision using clock_t_to_jiffies, instead of
doing overflow-sensitive on-the-fly conversions every time the values are
used.
Cons: apparent precision loss if HZ is not a multiple of 100, because of
conversion back and forth. This is a common problem for all sysctl values
that use proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies. (There is only one other in-tree
use, in net/core/neighbour.c.)
