You forgot to unlock the page.  Also, if you're waiting killably here,
do you need to wait before you get the page lock?  Ditto for waiting on
fscache -- do you want to do that before or after you get the page lock?

Also, I never quite understood why you needed to wait for fscache
writes to finish before allowing the page to be dirtied.  Is this a
wait_for_stable_page() kind of situation, where the cache might be
calculating a checksum on it?  Because as far as I can tell, once the
page is dirty in RAM, the contents of the on-disk cache are irrelevant ...
unless they're part of a RAID 5 checksum kind of situation.

I didn't spot any other problems ...
