> - Added missing transition to LRU_DISCARDING state.
> - Added two ceph patches from Jeff Layton[2].

Tested this with NFS and fscache enabled and disabled looks very
stable. You can add
Tested-by: Dave Wysochanski <dwysocha@...hat.com>
Since this set was on top of 5.16.0-rc4, I compared runs of vanilla
5.16.0-rc4 and this set.
No new failures were seen, no oops or warns, or other stability
issues, and many runs I ran back to back without reboots.
