Yes, I started playing with the patches but I am getting a race condition
resulting in a null-ptr-deref for which I don't have a good answer for
yet.
@zi yan Did you encounter any issue like this when you were testing?
I did the following change (just a prototype) instead of this patch:

I am getting a random null-ptr deref when I run generic/176 multiple
times with different blksizes. I still don't have a minimal reproducer
for this issue. Race condition during writeback:
