Not sure.  fuse_wait_on_page_writeback() waits not on the page but the
byte range indicated by the index.

Fuse writeback goes through some hoops to prevent reclaim related
deadlocks, which means that the byte range could still be under
writeback, yet the page belonging to that range be already reclaimed.
 This fuse_wait_on_page_writeback() is trying to serialize reads
against such writes.

Thanks,
Miklos
