Andrew,
Here are some writeback bug fixes and code cleanups, based on 2.6.24-rc6-mm1.
The detailed description can be found in the first patch, which introduces the
new facility for the following patches to use.
The first two patches combined should fix the slow writes for concurrent large

Redirtied inodes could be seen in really fast writes.
They should really be synced as soon as possible.
redirty_tail() could delay the inode for up to 30s.
Kill the delay by using requeue_io() instead.

OK, given our discussion, perhaps the attached revised patch will be
more to your liking.
If so, let me know and I'll give it one last paranoid test, then mail
you a Signed-off-by patch.

The following is a series of patchsets related to Unionfs. This is the
second set of patchsets resulting from an lkml review of the entire unionfs
code base (many thanks go to all of those who sent their comments). The
most significant changes in this set are bug fixes and an overhaul of the
Don't try to truncate_inode_pages in in purge_inode_data, because this could
lead to a deadlock between some of address_space ops and dentry
revalidation: the address space op is invoked with a lock on our own page,
and truncate_inode_pages will block on locked pages. Instead, it should be

A stackable file system like unionfs often performs an operation on a lower
file system, by calling a vfs_* method, having been called possibly by the
very same method from the VFS. Both calls to the vfs_* method grab a lock
in the same lock class, and hence lockdep complains. This warning is a
When creating a new special file, always create it in the first branch,
which is always writeable, not in the branch which may have a whiteout in
it. This makes the policy for the creation of new special files consistent
with that of new files/directories, as well as improves efficiency a bit.
Set it to 1 ns, because we could be stacked on top of file systems with such
granularity.

Remove !mapping_cap_writeback_dirty shortcircuit from unionfs_writepages.
It was introduced to avoid the stray AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE coming from
shmem_writepage; but that has since been fixed in shmem_writepage and in
write_cache_pages. It stayed because it

Parent dentries may not be locked and may change, so don't check them. But
do check parent inodes if they are passed to the method. Also, ensure the
