This adds the helper function balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags(). It adds the parameter flags to balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited(). The flags parameter is passed to balance_dirty_pages(). For async buffered writes the flag value will be BDP_ASYNC. If balance_dirty_pages() gets called for async buffered write, we don't want to wait. Instead we need to indicate to the caller that throttling is needed so that it can stop writing and offload the rest of the write to a context that can block. The new helper function is also used by balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
