- I found some time to look into some writeback problems in
fs/fs-writeback.c.

No, that's a debugging patch I put in that missed a couple of corner cases
(oops, you live and learn!).
Actually I worked out what this one is too: just a case of a page with
buffers (so the page itself may be dirty && !uptodate), which is calling
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers via redirty_page_for_writepages.
The patch I sent out earlier to fix Jiri's NFS warnings should take care
of this one as well.
