[PATCH] Btrfs: tag pages for writeback in sync
Everybody else does this, we need to do it too. If we're syncing, we need to
tag the pages we're going to write for writeback so we don't end up writing the
same stuff over and over again if somebody is constantly redirtying our file.
This will keep us from having latencies with heavy sync workloads. Thanks,

This will keep us from having latencies with heavy sync workloads. Thanks, Maybe it's time to find a wait to merge the btrfs copy of write_cache_pages back into the main one? I looked at it, but we need to be able to call a special helper to lock the page for our btree pages, and we can queue up a bio in order to add pages to it from delalloc which we will submit if we have to wait on a page to complete writeback. Maybe I can use the block plugging stuff instead of our bio thing so that if we have to wait it will get flushed automatically, then that just leaves our locking thing which I guess would be ok to pass down to write_cache_pages?
