Sounds like what you need could be implemented using a time stamp.
Could be named like "last_written" and "last_dump". Both stores
jiffies values, consecutively when last time it is written out and
last time it is dumped out.

And since they are jiffies_t, they probably better attached to "page_t".

CMIIW...
