/*
 * linux/fs/nfs/write.c
 *
 * Writing file data over NFS.
 *
 * We do it like this: When a (user) process wishes to write data to an
 * NFS file, a write request is allocated that contains the RPC task data
 * plus some info on the page to be written, and added to the inode's
 * write chain. If the process writes past the end of the page, an async
 * RPC call to write the page is scheduled immediately; otherwise, the call
 * is delayed for a few seconds.
 *
 * Just like readahead, no async I/O is performed if wsize < PAGE_SIZE.
 *
 * Write requests are kept on the inode's writeback list. Each entry in
 * that list references the page (portion) to be written. When the
 * cache timeout has expired, the RPC task is woken up, and tries to
 * lock the page. As soon as it manages to do so, the request is moved
 * from the writeback list to the writelock list.
 *
 * Note: we must make sure never to confuse the inode passed in the
 * write_page request with the one in page->inode. As far as I understand
 * it, these are different when doing a swap-out.
 *
 * To understand everything that goes on here and in the NFS read code,
 * one should be aware that a page is locked in exactly one of the following
 * cases:
 *
 *  -	A write request is in progress.
 *  -	A user process is in generic_file_write/nfs_update_page
 *  -	A user process is in generic_file_read
 *
 * Also note that because of the way pages are invalidated in
 * nfs_revalidate_inode, the following assertions hold:
 *
 *  -	If a page is dirty, there will be no read requests (a page will
 *	not be re-read unless invalidated by nfs_revalidate_inode).
 *  -	If the page is not uptodate, there will be no pending write
 *	requests, and no process will be in nfs_update_page.
 *
 * FIXME: Interaction with the vmscan routines is not optimal yet.
 * Either vmscan must be made nfs-savvy, or we need a different page
 * reclaim concept that supports something like FS-independent
 * buffer_heads with a b_ops-> field.
 *
