No need for a separate spinlock.  Just rename uptodate_lock.  Maybe
'bitmap_lock'.

This is inefficient and poses difficulties for the THP patchset.
Maybe let the discussion on removing the ->uptodate array finish
before posting another patch for review?

Please follow normal kernel programming style.  This isn't XFS.
Also 'set or clear' with a bool to indicate which to do is horrible
style.  Separate functions!

Surely we don't need to test ->uptodate here at all.  Why would we write
back a block which isn't dirty?
