[PATCH 4/8] btrfs: Warn if direct reclaim tries to writeback pages

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de>
Date: 2011-07-21 16:29:17
Also in: linux-xfs, lkml
Subsystem: btrfs file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Chris Mason, David Sterba, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

Direct reclaim should never writeback pages. Warn if an attempt is
made. By rights, btrfs should be allowing writepage from kswapd if
it is failing to reclaim pages by any other means but it's outside
the scope of this patch.
