    [PATCH] relax nr_to_write requirements · 47279570

    Relax the requirements on the writeback_mapping a_op.
    
    This function is passed the number of pages which it should write.  The
    current fs-writeback.c code will get confused if the address_space
    writes back more pages than it was asked to.
    
    With this change the address_space may write more pages than required
    if that is convenient.  Extent-based fileystems may wish to do this.
