SubjectRe: Bug in write request flushing !!!
   Date: 	Tue, 1 Jul 1997 16:36:07 +0200 (MET DST)
From: Pavel Krauz <kra@elanor.cz>

Ohhh, Ahhh. These write requests are made by bdflush and the
sys_bdflush syscall. There is missing the kick to the device
driver.

Here is a one line patch which solves this bug for 2.0.30. Probably
similar patch should be applied to 2.1.43 too.

This could certainly explain a lot. Are the people playing with the
swap/buffer-cache patch sets listening? 8-)
