It looks like you really want Dave's generic page_mkwrite.

Is that appropriate for a non buffer based filesystem?


And we should
really get that one merged for 2.6.22.

Dave asked me about that the other day (in relation to the ->fault ops)...
I have no problem merging it for 2.6.22 and rebasing my patches on top.
