Subject[RFC PATCH 01/26] VFS: introduce writeback_inodes_sb()
Date
Let file systems to writeback their pages and inodes when needed. This
is needed for UBIFS budgeting sub-system because it has to force
write-back from time to time.

Note, it cannot be called if one of the dirty pages is locked by
the caller, otherwise it'll deadlock.
