All you need to do is lock out page faults once the page is clean; that's what the sb_start_pagefault() calls are for in the page fault path - they catch write faults and block them until the filesystem is unfrozen. Hence I'm not sure why this would be necessary if you are catching write faults in .pfn_mkwrite....
