1187 * note that the LRU is being scanned too quickly and the

1191 * not marked for immediate reclaim, or the caller does not
1192 * have __GFP_FS (or __GFP_IO if it's simply going to swap,
1193 * not to fs). In this case mark the page for immediate
1194 * reclaim and continue scanning.

1197 * may not have submitted IO yet. And the loop driver might
1198 * enter reclaim, and deadlock if it waits on a page for
1199 * which it is needed to do the write (loop masks off
1200 * __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS for this reason); but more thought
