Allow to trigger kernel writeback after a configurable number of writes.
While testing out Dilip Kumar's relation extension patch today, I
discovered (with some help from Andres) that this causes nasty
regressions when doing parallel COPY on hydra (3.2.6-3.fc16.ppc64,
lousy disk subsystem).
Unless Fedora/Redhat fixed the 3.2 kernel in a subsequent patch (.6-3?)
then I would look hard right at that. The kernel from 3.2 - 3.8 is going
to be miserable for anything that is doing concurrent writes. I
understand that this is a regression regardless but I think we need
wider testing to see if the changes are somehow related.
Sincerely,
jD
