Looks ok to me.

I think in a separate patch we need to change:

+		if (xa_store(&udev->data_blocks, dbi, page, GFP_KERNEL))
 			goto err_insert;

to GFP_NOIO. There were some users doing tcm loop  + tcmu and
were hitting issues when GFP_KERNEL lead to write backs back on
to the same tcmu device. We tried to change all the gfp flags but
we missed that one, because it was hidden in the radix tree's
xa_flags.
