Subject: [PATCH] NFS: introduce writeback wait queue
The generic writeback routines are departing from congestion_wait()
in preference of get_request_wait(), aka. to wait on the block queues.
Introduce the missing writeback wait queue for NFS, otherwise its
writeback pages will grow out of control.
The SYNC writes can use the full queue space (2*nfs_congestion_kb), while
the ASYNC writes can only use half queue space. This way SYNC writes won't
be blocked by the ASYNC ones at all.
We'll be waiting inside the NFS_INO_FLUSHING lock, hence also be
blocking possible dirtiers. This should not be a bit problem.
And we should be able to obsolete the NFS_INO_FLUSHING with more
general writeback improvements in long term.
