This allows us to simplify the code some, and will allow us to further customize the code in future patches. There are some nasty hacks in write_cache_pages(), which Linus has (correctly) characterized as vile. I've just copied it into write_cache_pages_da(), without trying to clean those bits up lest I break something in the ext4's delalloc implementation, which is a bit fragile right now. This will allow Dave Chinner to clean up write_cache_pages() in mm/page-writeback.c, without worrying about breaking ext4. Eventually write_cache_pages_da() will go away when I rewrite ext4's delayed allocation and create a general ext4_writepages() which is used for all of ext4's writeback. Until now this is the lowest risk way to clean up the core write_cache_pages() function. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Cc: Dave Chinner --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
