ext4: convert write_begin methods to stable_page_writes semantics
Use wait_for_stable_page() instead of wait_on_page_writeback() Huawei engineer Jianfeng report that without this patch, the consequence write may cause seconds to finish. The patch helps because most of storage today doesn't require that the page isn't changed while IO is in flight. That is required only for data checksumming or copy-on-write semantics but ext4 does neither of those. So we don't have to wait for IO completion in ext4_write_begin() unless underlying storage requires it. --Honza Signed-off-by:Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by:
