Awesome, this is what I'm planning to do in v3 to address migration then: 1) in migrate_folio_unmap(), only call "folio_wait_writeback(src);" if src->mapping does not have the AS_NO_WRITEBACK_WAIT bit set on it (eg fuse folios will have that AS_NO_WRITEBACK_WAIT bit set) 2) in the fuse filesystem's implementation of the mapping->a_ops->migrate_folio callback, return -EAGAIN if the folio is under writeback. Does this sound good? Thanks, Joanne
