- How to handle NFS.

As said above, maybe through network based bdi pressure propagation,
Maybe some other special case mechanism.  Unsure but I don't think
this concern should dictate the whole design. 

NFS has a custom bdi implementation and implements congestion control
based on the number of outstanding writeback pages.

See fs/nfs/write.c:nfs_{set,end}_page_writeback

All !block based filesystems have their own BDI implementation, I'm not
sure on the congestion implementation of anything other than NFS though.
