Does XFS support cgroup writeback limiting?

Hi,

in June 2015 the article https://lwn.net/Articles/648292/ mentioned
upcoming support for limiting the quantity of buffered writes
using control groups.

Back then, only ext4 was said to support that feature, with other
filesystems requiring some minor changes to do the same.

The generic cgroup writeback support made it into mainline
linux-4.2, I tried to find information on whether other filesystems
had meanwhile been adapted, but couldn't find this piece of information.

Therefore I'd like to ask: Does XFS (as of linux-4.3 or linux-4.4)
support limiting the quantity of buffered writes using control groups?

Regards,

Lutz Vieweg
