From 22905f775dd6a8b73be99826dcad07ceec00244b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2005 15:07:01 -0800 Subject: identify multipage ->writepages() calls NFS needs to be able to distinguish between single-page ->writepage() calls and multipage ->writepages() calls. For the single-page writepage calls NFS can kick off the I/O within the context of ->writepage(). For multipage ->writepages calls, nfs_writepage() will leave the I/O pending and nfs_writepages() will kick off the I/O when it all has been queued up within NFS.
