Writeback takes out a lock on the cache block, so will increase the latency for any concurrent io. This patch works by placing 2 sentinel objects on each level of the multiqueues. Every WRITEBACK_PERIOD the oldest sentinel gets moved to the newest end of the queue level. When looking for writeback work: if less than 25% of the cache is clean: we select the oldest object with the lowest hit count otherwise: we select the oldest object that is not past a writeback sentinel.
