[PATCH 2/3] fs: block_page_mkwrite should wait for writeback to finish

From: Darrick J. Wong
Date: Thu May 19 2011 - 18:49:11 EST


For filesystems such as nilfs2 and xfs that use block_page_mkwrite, modify that
function to wait for pending writeback before allowing the page to become
writable. This is needed to stabilize pages during writeback for those two
filesystems.
