Good god thanks, yes please ;-)

afs, is it not a network filesystem? which means that it has it's own emulated none-block-device
BDI, registered internally. So if you do need stable pages someone should call
bdi_require_stable_pages()

But again since it is a network filesystem I don't see how it is needed, and/or it might be
taken care of already.

CEPH for sure has it's own "emulated none-block-device BDI". This one is also
a pure networking filesystem.

And it already does what it needs to do with wait_on_writeback().

So i do not think you should touch CEPH

Cifs also self-BDI network filesystem, but

It waits by locking the page, that's cifs naive way of waiting for writeback

Instead it could do better and not override page_mkwrite at all, and all it needs
to do is call bdi_require_stable_pages() at it's own registered BDI

ubifs has it's special ubi block device. So someone needs to call bdi_require_stable_pages()
for this to work.

I think that here too. The existing code, like cifs, calls page_lock, as a way of
waiting for writeback.

So this is certainly not finished.
