From: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> nfs_writepage() refuses to write back mapped pages at all on the page reclaim path, causing systems to get locked up when there's a lot of dirty mmapped data around. The patch changes NFS so that it will start I/O against these pages. The code as it stands is designed to defer writeout to pdflush which can do larger, more efficient I/Os. But there shouldn't be much traffic by this path, and going slow is better than not going at all. Patch originally from Trond.
