From my point of view, the following questions remain:

should I follow for that? The patch queue contains mm and iomap
changes, so a pull request from the gfs2 tree would be unusual.
Oh, I'd much rather get these as one pull request from the author and
from the person that actually ended up testing this.
Hi Linus,
FWIW, I've been working with Andreas on this and have tested it quite
extensively, although only with gfs2. I've tested it with numerous
scenarios, both stand-alone (xfstests as well as several other test
programs I have in my collection) and in a cluster with some very heavy
duty cluster coherency tests. My testing is nearly complete, but not
quite.
