Re: [PATCH 5/5] iomap: support RWF_UNCACHED for buffered writes

This adds support for RWF_UNCACHED for file systems using iomap to
perform buffered writes. We use the generic infrastructure for this,
by tracking pages we created and calling write_drop_cached_pages()
to issue writeback and prune those pages.

Hmmm... why is a chunk of buffered write(?) code landing in the iomap
apply function?

The #define for IOMAP_UNCACHED doesn't have a comment, so I don't know
what this is supposed to mean.  Judging from the one place it gets set
in the buffered write function I gather that this is how you implement
the "write through page cache and immediately unmap the page if it
wasn't there before" behavior?

So based on that, I think you want ...

if IOMAP_WRITE && _UNCACHED && !_DIRECT && written > 0:
	flush and invalidate

Since direct writes are never going to create page cache, right?

And in that case, why not put this at the end of iomap_write_actor?

(Sorry if this came up in the earlier discussions, I've been busy this
week and still have a long way to go for catching up...)
