Any chance you could pass down a struct writeback_control instead of just the sync flag? XFS always used ->writepage similar to the ->vm_writeback in older kernel releases because writing out more than one page of delalloc space is really needed to be efficient and this would allow us to get a few more hints about the VM's intentions.
