  Attached is a rebase of your block_page_mkwrite change on top of my
patches. I'm not sure what is the actual status your series - have you
pushed VFS changes to Al?

Subject: [PATCH] vfs: Wait in __block_page_mkwrite for IO to finish

For filesystems such as nilfs2 and xfs that use block_page_mkwrite, modify that
function to wait for pending writeback before allowing the page to become
writable. This is needed to stabilize pages during writeback for those two
filesystems.
