Currently we do write coalescing in a very inefficient manner: one pass in generic_writepages() in order to lock the pages for writing, then one pass in nfs_flush_mapping() and/or nfs_sync_mapping_wait() in order to gather the locked pages for coalescing into RPC requests of size "wsize". In fact, it turns out there is actually a deadlock possible here since we only start I/O on the second pass. If the user signals the process while we're in nfs_sync_mapping_wait(), for instance, then we may exit before starting I/O on all the requests that have been queued up.
