Subject: Re: maybe a bug in writeback?

Tao,

I find the root cause to be: the inode being busily overwritten remains in
expired state, so the flusher keeps flushing it to the disk.

The attached patches _for 2.6.32_ can fix your problem. The 2nd patch
should be enough for ext4; the 3rd patch further offers the guarantee.

After patch, system I/O becomes pretty quite:
