Hi, Sorry for not responding earlier. The patch that uses writepage() here has been around for quite some time waiting for reviews / acks so I failed to notice that it's going away. Anyway the reclaim flag clearing follows that of pageout() in vmscan.c which was also the case for the i915_gem_shmem.c usage in __shmem_writeback(). My understanding was that if the writeback was already completed at that point, the reclaim flag was no longer desirable. Let me know if this requires some action on my side. Unfortunately freedesktop.org is down for maintainance, possibly for the whole week, so there will be no drm subsystem PRs this week AFAICT. The fix below looks good to me, BTW.
