1159 * We use this sequence to make sure that
1160 * (a) we account for dirty stats properly
1161 * (b) we tell the low-level filesystem to
1162 * mark the whole page dirty if it was
1163 * dirty in a pagetable. Only to then
1164 * (c) clean the page again and return 1 to
1165 * cause the writeback.
1166 *
1167 * This way we avoid all nasty races with the
1168 * dirty bit in multiple places and clearing
1169 * them concurrently from different threads.
1170 *
1171 * Note! Normally the "set_page_dirty(page)"
1172 * has no effect on the actual dirty bit - since
1173 * that will already usually be set. But we
1174 * need the side effects, and it can help us
1175 * avoid races.
1176 *
1177 * We basically use the page "master dirty bit"
1178 * as a serialization point for all the different
1179 * threads doing their things.
