This makes sense to me as well.

So how do we want to send this patch to Linus?  It's a writeback
change, so through some mm tree?  Or it lives in fs/fs-writeback.c
(which I always thought was weird; why is it not in mm/?), so maybe
through the VFS tree, even though I don't think Al would really care
about this patch.

Or I can push it to Linus through the ext4 tree....
