That implicitely assumes we can write all buffers. So far that is true because callers call into ext4_bio_writepage() make sure all buffers in the page are mapped but: a) it's a data corruption bug waiting to happen b) in data=ordered mode when blocksize < pagesize we do need to write pages that may have only some of dirty buffers mapped. So change ext4_bio_writepage() to skip buffers that cannot be written without clearing their dirty bit.
