Hi Fengguang,
Apologies for having taken time over this. Do you see any improvement
with the appended variant instead? It adds a new address_space_operation
in order to do the commit. Furthermore, it ignores the commit request if
the caller is just doing a WB_SYNC_NONE background flush, waiting
instead for the ensuing WB_SYNC_ALL request...
Cheers
Trond

VFS: Add a new inode state: I_UNSTABLE_PAGES
From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
Add a new inode state to enable the vfs to commit the nfs unstable pages to
stable storage once the write back of dirty pages is done.
