I would actually suggest:

 - move the whole MIN_WRITEBACK_PAGES #define from the header file to
fs/writeback.c (why expose such a random #define to outside users that
have nothing to do with it?)

 - make sure that fs/fs-writeback.c has that pagemap.h #include.

There's no reason why <linux/writeback.h> should include filemap.h per
se, and there is no reason why it should expose some internal chunking
#define to anybody else.

Wu?
