Starting preemptive flushing at 50% of available free space is a good start, but some workloads are particularly abusive and can quickly overwhelm the preemptive flushing code and drive us into using tickets. Handle this by clamping down on our threshold for starting and continuing to run preemptive flushing. This is particularly important for our overcommit case, as we can really drive the file system into overages and then it's more difficult to pull it back as we start to actually fill up the file system. The clamping is essentially 2^CLAMP, but we start at 1 so whatever we calculate for overcommit is the baseline.

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.
