+ * transaction the data will hit the disk. In case we are journaling data, we
+ * cannot start transaction directly because transaction start ranks above page
+ * lock so we have to do some magic.
+ *
  * This function can get called via...
  *   - ext4_da_writepages after taking page lock (have journal handle)
  *   - journal_submit_inode_data_buffers (no journal handle)
  *   - shrink_page_list via pdflush (no journal handle)
  *   - grab_page_cache when doing write_begin (have journal handle)
+ *
+ * We don't do any block allocation in this function. If we have page with
+ * multiple blocks we need to write those buffer_heads that are mapped. This
+ * is important for mmaped based write. So if we do with blocksize 1K
+ * truncate(f, 1024);
+ * a = mmap(f, 0, 4096);
+ * a[0] = 'a';
+ * truncate(f, 4096);
+ * we have in the page first buffer_head mapped via page_mkwrite call back
+ * but other bufer_heads would be unmapped but dirty(dirty done via the
+ * do_wp_page). So writepage should write the first block. If we modify
+ * the mmap area beyond 1024 we will again get a page_fault and the
+ * page_mkwrite callback will do the block allocation and mark the
+ * buffer_heads mapped.
+ *
+ * We redirty the page if we have any buffer_heads that is either delay or
+ * unwritten in the page.
+ *
+ * We can get recursively called as show below.
+ *
+ *	ext4_writepage() -> kmalloc() -> __alloc_pages() -> page_launder() ->
+ *		ext4_writepage()
+ *
+ * But since we don't do any block allocation we should not deadlock.
+ * Page also have the dirty flag cleared so we don't get recurive page_lock.

- *
- * In all journaling modes block_write_full_page() will start the I/O.
- *
- * Problem:
- *
- *	ext4_writepage() -> kmalloc() -> __alloc_pages() -> page_launder() ->
- *		ext4_writepage()
- *
- * Similar for:
- *
- *	ext4_file_write() -> generic_file_write() -> __alloc_pages() -> ...
- *
- * Same applies to ext4_get_block().  We will deadlock on various things like
- * lock_journal and i_data_sem
- *
- * Setting PF_MEMALLOC here doesn't work - too many internal memory
- * allocations fail.
- *
- * 16May01: If we're reentered then journal_current_handle() will be
- *	    non-zero. We simply *return*.
- *
- * 1 July 2001: @@@ FIXME:
- *   In journalled data mode, a data buffer may be metadata against the
- *   current transaction.  But the same file is part of a shared mapping
- *   and someone does a writepage() on it.
- *
- *   We will move the buffer onto the async_data list, but *after* it has
- *   been dirtied. So there's a small window where we have dirty data on
- *   BJ_Metadata.
- *
- *   Note that this only applies to the last partial page in the file.  The
- *   bit which block_write_full_page() uses prepare/commit for.  (That's
- *   broken code anyway: it's wrong for msync()).
- *
- *   It's a rare case: affects the final partial page, for journalled data
- *   where the file is subject to bith write() and writepage() in the same
- *   transction.  To fix it we'll need a custom block_write_full_page().
- *   We'll probably need that anyway for journalling writepage() output.
- *
- * We don't honour synchronous mounts for writepage().  That would be
- * disastrous.  Any write() or metadata operation will sync the fs for
- * us.
