Commit8c8c383c04("mm: memcontrol: try harder to set a new memory.high") inadvertently removed a callback to recalculate the writeback cache size in light of a newly configured memory.high limit. Without letting the writeback cache know about a potentially heavily reduced limit, it may permit too many dirty pages, which can cause unnecessary reclaim latencies or even avoidable OOM situations. This was spotted while reading the code, it hasn't knowingly caused any problems in practice so far.

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.
