When + this is the case and the kernel is performing writeback of a + page, the kernel will wait for writeback to complete before + allowing the page to be modified again, rather than allowing + immediate modification as is normally the case. This + restriction arises when the device accesses the memory multiple + times where the same data must be seen every time -- for + example, once to calculate a checksum and once to actually write + the data. If no such restriction exists, this file will contain + '0'.
