Yes...

As noted in the cover letter, there is a fix for this issue
itself. However, the fix revealed other failures in fsync() path.
But, with further investigation, I found the failures are not really
related to zoned fsync() code. So, I will soon post two patches (one
incremental for this one, and one to deal with a regression case)..
