SubjectRe: Bug in kernel 2.6.31, Slow wb_kupdate writeout

The other thing I've been experimenting with is to disable the per-page
check in write_cache_pages, ie:

if (wbc->nonblocking && bdi_write_congested(bdi)) {
wb_stats_inc(WB_STATS_WCP_SECTION_CONG);
wbc->encountered_congestion = 1;
/* done = 1; */

This treats the congestion limits as soft, but encourages us to write
back in larger, more efficient chunks. If that's not going to scare
people unduly, I can submit that as well.
