Following we will treat SetPageDirty and dirty page accounting as an
integrated
operation. Filesystems had better use vfs interface directly to avoid
those details.

This also needs an EXPORT_SYMBOL(__set_page_dirty) to allow ceph to
continue to build as a module.

With that fixed, the ceph bits are a welcome cleanup!

Further, I check the path again and may it be reworked as follows to avoid
undo?

__set_page_dirty();
__set_page_dirty();
ceph operations;                ==>                    if (page->mapping)
if (page->mapping)                                            ceph operations;
    ;
else
    undo = 1;
if (undo)
    xxx;

Yep.  Taking another look at the original code, though, I'm worried that 
one reason the __set_page_dirty() actions were spread out the way they are 
is because we wanted to ensure that the ceph operations were always 
performed when PagePrivate was set.

It looks like invalidatepage won't get called if private isn't set, and 
presumably it handles the truncate race with __set_page_dirty() properly 
(right?).  What about writeback?  Do we need to worry about writepage[s] 
getting called with a NULL page->private?

Thanks!

Thanks,
