->writepage is only used in one place - single page writeback from memory reclaim. We only allow such writeback from kswapd, not from direct memory reclaim, and so it is rarely used. When it comes from kswapd, it is effectively random dirty page shoot-down, which is horrible for IO patterns. We will already have background writeback trying to clean all the dirty pages in memory as efficiently as possible, so having kswapd interrupt our well formed IO stream only slows things down. So get rid of xfs_vm_writepage() completely. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> [djwong: forward port to 5.15] Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
