From: Richard Kennedy <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 2faf2e19dd0e060eeb32442858ef495ac3083277 upstream (as of v2.6.33-rc3) When ext4_da_writepages increases the nr_to_write in writeback_control then it must always re-base the return value. Originally there was a (misguided) attempt prevent wbc.nr_to_write from going negative. In fact, it's necessary to allow nr_to_write to be negative so that wb_writeback() can correctly calculate how many pages were actually written.
