Well, not really..

mpage_writepages() could end up calling ext3_writeback_writepage()
in "confused" case thro ..

	*ret = page->mapping->a_ops->writepage(page, wbc);

which ends up doing nothing and leaves the page dirty, since there is 
journal handle started :(

	if (ext3_journal_current_handle())
		goto out_fail;

Ideas ?

Thanks,
