[ Upstream commit 4b270a8cc5047682f0a3f3f9af3b498408dbd2bc ] In synchronous scenario, like in checkpoint(), we are going to flush dirty node pages to device synchronously, we can easily failed writebacking node page due to trylock_page() failure, especially in condition of intensive lock competition, which can cause long latency of checkpoint(). So let's use lock_page() in synchronous scenario to avoid this issue.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
