Taking a look at this again, I'm in doubt to cover this, since 1) normal usecase
of atomic writes is to set page dirty and write it right away during commit, 2)
there'd be no large number of dirty pages even when we consider race condition
between writepages and atomic_commit. Am I missing another case?

Done.
Thank you for ths suggestion.
