SubjectRe: [VM PATCH] rotate_reclaimable_page fails frequently

The question is, why is the page not yet back on the
LRU by the time the data write completes ?

Surely a disk IO is slow enough that the page will
have been put on the LRU milliseconds before the IO
completes ?

In what kind of configuration do you run into this
problem ?
