It applies instead of the previous patch in that series, that is after
the 9 patches before it. I don't think hfsplus has issue you mentioned
in that other thread, not by design but more by accident due to:
- not checking the dirty bits anymore as it doesn't implement the
fdatasync optimization.
- hfsplus_write_inode first calling hfsplus_ext_write_extent before
setting the catalog dirty bit, with hfsplus_ext_write_extent always
locking and unlocking a mutex and thus providing the required memory
barrier.
