Subject: [PATCH 0/2] afs: Fix writeback

Hi Linus,

Could you apply these fixes to AFS writeback code from Vishal?

 (1) Release the acquired batch before returning if we got >=5 skips.

 (2) Retry a page we had to wait for rather than skipping over it after the
     wait.

The patches can be found here:

Thanks,
David
