LONG_MAX.

It all fits perfectly:

static long wb_check_background_flush(struct bdi_writeback *wb)
{
        if (over_bground_thresh()) {
		struct wb_writeback_work work = {
			.nr_pages       = LONG_MAX,
			.sync_mode	= WB_SYNC_NONE,
			.for_background = 1,
			.range_cyclic = 1,
		};

		return wb_writeback(wb, &work);
	}

	return 0;
}
