It occurred to me that although a gfs2 specific writepages for ordered writes and journaled data would be tricky, by hooking writepages only for "data=writeback" mounts we could take advantage of not needing buffer heads (we don't use them on the read side, nor have we for some time) and create much larger I/Os for the block layer. Using blktrace both before and after, its possible to see that for large I/Os, most of the requests generated through writepages are now 1024 sectors after this patch is applied as opposed to 8 sectors before.
