Well that's exciting. write_cache_pages() does:

			if (PageWriteback(page)) {
				if (wbc->sync_mode != WB_SYNC_NONE)
					wait_on_page_writeback(page);
				else
					goto continue_unlock;
			}

bang -->>		BUG_ON(PageWriteback(page));


and filemap_fdatawrite_range() passed WB_SYNC_ALL to
__filemap_fdatawrite_range().

So either wait_on_page_writeback() simply failed to work (returned
without waiting) or someone came in and unexpectedly set PG_writeback a
second time.

And because it isn't reproducible, we don't know if it's a -mm patch or
it it's a mainline bug or whatever.  There isn't much material in -mm
at present and I can't see any which would affect these things, so is
it reasonable to suspect that this is a mainline bug?

Linus, how confident are you in those wait_on_page_bit_common()
changes?
