Hi Jos,
I prepared a debugging patch for 2.6.28. (I cannot observe writeback
problems on my local ext2 mount.)
You can view the states of all dirty inodes by doing
modprobe filecache
echo ls dirty > /proc/filecache
cat /proc/filecache
The 'age' field shows (jiffies - inode->dirtied_when), which may also be useful
for debugging Jeff and Ian's case(if it keeps growing, then dirtied_when is stuck).
The detailed dirty writeback traces can be retrieved by doing
echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/dirty_debug
sleep 6s
echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/dirty_debug
dmesg
The dmesg trace should help identify the bug in periodic writeback.
Thanks,
Fengguang

+Careful users may notice that the file name to be queried is remembered between
+commands. Internally, the module has a global variable to store the file name
+parameter, so that it can be inherited by newly opened /proc/filecache file.
+However it can lead to interference for multiple queriers. The solution here
+is to obey a rule: only root can interactively change the file name parameter;
+normal users must go for scripts to access the interface. Scripts should do it
+by following the code example below:
+
+ filecache = open("/proc/filecache", "rw");
+ # avoid polluting the global parameter filename
+ filecache.write("set private");
+
+To instruct the kernel to drop clean caches, dentries and inodes from memory,
+causing that memory to become free:
+
+ # drop clean file data cache (i.e. file backed pagecache)
+ echo drop pagecache > /proc/filecache
+
+ # drop clean file metadata cache (i.e. dentries and inodes)
+ echo drop slabcache > /proc/filecache
+
+Note that the drop commands are non-destructive operations and dirty objects
+are not freeable, the user should run `sync' first.
