1885 * (a) we account for dirty stats properly
1886 * (b) we tell the low-level filesystem to
1887 * mark the whole page dirty if it was
1888 * dirty in a pagetable. Only to then
1889 * (c) clean the page again and return 1 to
1890 * cause the writeback.
1891 *
1892 * This way we avoid all nasty races with the
1893 * dirty bit in multiple places and clearing
1894 * them concurrently from different threads.
1895 *
1896 * Note! Normally the "set_page_dirty(page)"
1897 * has no effect on the actual dirty bit - since
1898 * that will already usually be set. But we
1899 * need the side effects, and it can help us
1900 * avoid races.
1901 *
1902 * We basically use the page "master dirty bit"
1903 * as a serialization point for all the different
1904 * threads doing their things.
