The commit handling code is not safe against memory-pressure deadlocks when writing to swap. In particular, nfs_commitdata_alloc() blocks indefinitely waiting for memory, and this can consume all available workqueue threads. swap-out most likely uses STABLE writes anyway as COND_STABLE indicates that a stable write should be used if the write fits in a single request, and it normally does. However if we ever swap with a small wsize, or gather unusually large numbers of pages for a single write, this might change. For safety, make it explicit in the code that direct writes used for swap must always use FLUSH_STABLE.
