This is Jan's data=journal cleanup patch series, previously submitted here[1] rebased on top of Linus's patches to address merge conflicts with mm-stable, per this discussion[2]. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230111152736.9608-1-jack@xxxxxxx [2] https://lore.kernel.org/r/Y/k4Jvph15ugcY54@xxxxxxx While retesting this patch series, I've noticed a potential regression which doesn't trigger before applying the last patch in this series (Convert data=journal writeback to use ext4_writepages), but which triggers a WARNING in generic/390 about half the time. I've gone back and retested, and this was happening before the rebase. Jan, could you take a look and (1) let me know what you think about my patch conflict resolutions and (2) what you think about this warning which is occasionally triggered by generic/390? Many thanks! - Ted generic/390 2s ...
