And I spoke a bit too soon... I hit the following warning with this change:

WARNING: at fs/fs-writeback.c:1401 sync_inodes_sb+0xc0/0xd0()

The inline patch addresses it. I also see the following message during
273 but it doesn't appear related to this set:

kernel: XFS (dm-4): xlog_verify_grant_tail: space > BBTOB(tail_blocks)
