This patch implements write-behind policy which tracks sequential writes and starts background writeback when have enough dirty pages in a row.
Does this apply to data for files which have never been written to disk before?
I think one of the largest benefits of the extensive write-back caching in Linux is that the cache is discarded if the file is deleted before it is ever written to disk. (But maybe I'm wrong about this.)
Thanks, Florian
