* In all journalling modes block_write_full_page() will start the I/O.

- * Problem:
- *
- * ext3_writepage() -> kmalloc() -> __alloc_pages() -> page_launder() ->
- * ext3_writepage()
- *
- * Similar for:
- *
- * ext3_file_write() -> generic_file_write() -> __alloc_pages() -> ...
- *
- * Same applies to ext3_get_block(). We will deadlock on various things like
- * lock_journal and i_truncate_mutex.
- *
- * Setting PF_MEMALLOC here doesn't work - too many internal memory
- * allocations fail.
- *
- * 16May01: If we're reentered then journal_current_handle() will be
- * non-zero. We simply *return*.
- *
- * 1 July 2001: @@@ FIXME:
- * In journalled data mode, a data buffer may be metadata against the
- * current transaction. But the same file is part of a shared mapping
- * and someone does a writepage() on it.
- *
- * We will move the buffer onto the async_data list, but *after* it has
- * been dirtied. So there's a small window where we have dirty data on
- * BJ_Metadata.
- *
- * Note that this only applies to the last partial page in the file. The
- * bit which block_write_full_page() uses prepare/commit for. (That's
- * broken code anyway: it's wrong for msync()).
- *
- * It's a rare case: affects the final partial page, for journalled data
- * where the file is subject to bith write() and writepage() in the same
- * transction. To fix it we'll need a custom block_write_full_page().
- * We'll probably need that anyway for journalling writepage() output.
- *
* We don't honour synchronous mounts for writepage(). That would be
* disastrous. Any write() or metadata operation will sync the fs for
* us.
- *
- * AKPM2: if all the page's buffers are mapped to disk and !data=journal,
- * we don't need to open a transaction here.
