+Description:
+	Forces per-BDI checks for the share of given device in the write-back
+	cache even before the global background dirty limit is reached. This
+	is useful in situations where the global limit is much higher than
+	affordable for given relatively slow (or untrusted) device. Turning
+	strictlimit on has no visible effect if max_ratio is equal to 100%.
