[PATCH 3/3] mm: Provide stub page_mkwrite functionality to stabilizepages during writes

From: Darrick J. Wong
Date: Thu May 19 2011 - 18:49:22 EST


For filesystems that do not provide any page_mkwrite handler, provide a stub
page_mkwrite function that locks the page and waits for pending writeback to
complete. This is needed to stabilize pages during writes for a large variety
of filesystem drivers (ext2, ext3, vfat, hfs...).
