- * This function can get called via...

- * - journal_submit_inode_data_buffers (no journal handle)
- * - shrink_page_list via the kswapd/direct reclaim (no journal handle)
- * - grab_page_cache when doing write_begin (have journal handle)
- *
- * We don't do any block allocation in this function. If we have page with
- * multiple blocks we need to write those buffer_heads that are mapped. This
- * is important for mmaped based write. So if we do with blocksize 1K
- * truncate(f, 1024);

- * we have in the page first buffer_head mapped via page_mkwrite call back
