[PATCH 03/11] writeback: Factor should_writeback_folio() out of write_cache_pages()

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Thu Dec 14 2023 - 08:26:11 EST


From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Reduce write_cache_pages() by about 30 lines; much of it is commentary,
but it all bundles nicely into an obvious function.
