  Hi,

  this patch series improves writeback code so that we don't put of writeback
of inodes for unnecessarily long in some cases. A prerequisite for this is an
improved livelock prevention which is done by the first patch. Christoph, can
you verify whether these two patches help your problems with writeback of XFS
inodes being put off almost indefinitely please? Thanks.
