    [PATCH] don't make writers wait on their writeback in page reclaim · 62a34f2d
    Andrew Morton authored
    I had some code in page reclaim which is designed to catch the caller
    of write(2) in page reclaim and force him to wait on writeout of his
    own spindle's pages.
    
    It works too well - there are large stalls in things like `cp
    large-file foo' on small-memory machines.
    
    So remove it, and rely on the other, more predictable throttling
    schemes.
