[PATCH] mm: move page-writeback sysctls to is own file
From: zhanglianjie
Date: Fri Jan 28 2022 - 04:19:22 EST
kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.
So move the page-writeback sysctls to its own file.
