I rewrote this a bit, so we won't have to do the thing in two passes, which
makes it simpler and more robust.  Waiting for page writeback here is wrong
anyway, see comment above fuse_page_mkwrite().  BTW we had a race there because
fuse_page_mkwrite() didn't take the page lock.  I've also fixed that up and
pushed a series containing these patches up to implementing ->writepages() to

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/fuse.git writepages

Passed some trivial testing but more is needed.

I'll get to the rest of the patches next week.

Thanks,
Miklos


Subject: fuse: Implement writepages callback
From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@xxxxxxxxxx>

The .writepages one is required to make each writeback request carry more than
one page on it. The patch enables optimized behaviour unconditionally,
i.e. mmap-ed writes will benefit from the patch even if fc->writeback_cache=0.

[SzM: simplify, add comments]
