So what filesystem actually uses this new NOWAIT functionality?
Unless I'm blind (quite possibly) I don't see any filesystem
implementation of this functionality in the patch series.

I know I posted a prototype for XFS to use it, and I expected that
it would become part of this patch series to avoid the "we don't add
unused code to the kernel" problem. i.e. the authors would take the
XFS prototype, make it work, add support into for the new io_uring
operation to fsstress in fstests and then use that to stress test
the new infrastructure before it gets merged....

But I don't see any of this?
