NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete
If the page cache is being flushed, then we want to ensure that we do start a commit once the pages are done being flushed. If we just wait until all I/O is done to that file, we can end up livelocking until the balance_dirty_pages() mechanism puts its foot down and forces I/O to stop. So instead we do more or less the same thing that O_DIRECT does, and set up a counter to tell us when the flush is done, Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@primarydata.com> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com>
