    [PATCH] Special-case fail_writepage() in page reclaim · 32b51ef2
    Andrew Morton authored
    Pages from memory-backed filesystems are supposed to be moved up onto
    the active list, but that's not working because fail_writepage() is
    called when the page is not on the LRU.
    
    So look for this case in page reclaim and handle it there.
    
    And it's more efficient, the VM knows more about what is going on and
    it later leads to the removal of fail_writepage().
