Uh-huh. It is sure that try_to_release_page will check the writeback flag of page. But the place where check the writeback flag using: If (page_has_private(page) && !try_to_release_page(page, GFP_KERNEL)) { ... } The original code will miss the page which in writeback status but has no private data.
