This happens regularly for zoned file systems, and in theory could happen for compressed I/O if the worker thread was executed very quickly. For such pages extent_write_cache_pages waits for writeback to complete before moving on to the next page, which is highly inefficient as it blocks the flusher thread. Port over the PageDirty check that was added to write_cache_pages in commit 515f4a037fb ("mm: write_cache_pages optimise page cleaning") to fix this.
