The VM uses dirty and writeback information to determine if it needs
to stall to allow flushers a chance to complete some IO. Ordinarily
it can use PageDirty and PageWriteback but some filesystems have
more complex state (unstable pages in NFS prevent reclaim) or
do not set those flags due to locking problems (jbd). This callback
allows a filesystem to indicate to the VM if a page should be
treated as dirty or writeback for the purposes of stalling.
error_remove_page: normally set to generic_error_remove_page if truncation
is ok for this address space. Used for memory failure handling.
Setting this implies you deal with pages going away under you,
