BTW:
Excuse my ignorance. I have no deep inside neither into fs nor mm stuff.
But why do we need pagevec_lookup_tag() at all?
No other fs driver needs it. (At least a "grep -r" didn't show it.)
Other fs drivers work without swap support.
Maybe it's possible to implement writepages() without
pagevec_lookup_tag() ...
But again: I have no deeper understanding of the fs internas.
