[PATCH] reiserfs: reiserfs hang and performance fix for data=journal mode
In data=journal mode, reiserfs writepage needs to make sure not to trigger transactions while being run under PF_MEMALLOC. This patch makes sure to redirty the page instead of forcing a transaction start in this case. Also, calling filemap_fdata* in order to trigger io on the block device can cause lock inversions on the page lock. Instead, do simple batching from flush_commit_list.
