Badari, I seem to have successfully hacked the writeback mode to use writepages on a User-Mode Linux instance. I'm going to try it on a real box soon. The only issue is that pdflush is passing the create parameter as 1 to writepages, which doesn't exactly make sense. I suppose it might be needed for a filesystem like XFS which does delayed block allocation ? In ext3 however, the blocks should have been allocated beforehand.
