This was intended to congest higher layers to not send bios, but as 1) the congested bit has been taken by writeback Async bios come from buffered writes and DIO writes. For DIO writes, we want to submit them ASAP, while for buffered writes, writeback uses balance_dirty_pages() to throttle how much dirty pages we can have. 2) and no one is waiting for %nr_async_bios down to zero, Historically, it was introduced along with changes which let checksumming workload spread accross different cpus. And at that time, pdflush was used instead of per-bdi flushing, perhaps pdflush did not have the necessary information for writeback to do throttling. We can safely remove them now.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
