Why do you apparently ignore the fact that page-out write-back performance
is horribly crappy because it always starts out doing synchronous writes?
I pointed out previously in a private email that page_launder() must be
buggy as it stands now, you seem to have ignored that part (and the

for the highmem deadlock.
The page->mapping->flush() callback is really wanted

The rest are mostly extra's tha

Throughout linux/fs/buffer.c, the struct buffer_head member b_blocknr has
integer values put into it, while it's defined to be an unsigned long in

Hello,
I've subscribed to the list for quite a while, and I sincerely hope this is the
correct place to report this particular problem. If not, I apologize and ask
that someone point me in the correct direction.
