The writepages code path is for file data, which I think should not cause priority inversion because there is dependence between writeback to different files. For metadata write, the priority inversion could happen. This happens to other filesystems too, like ext4 and btrfs. Tejun submitted patches recently to force metadata write from root cgroup, which could fix the issue. We might need to do similar thing for xfs later.
