Hi Matthew, thanks for your work on this patch series!

I applied it against 4c3, and ran a quick test run on it, and found
the following locking problem.  To reproduce:

kvm-xfstests -c nojournal generic/113

I'm other test configurations are still running, and I haven't had a
chance to do a detailed review on it, but I'll try to get to it this
