Since I encountered this issue on the 4.19 kernel and there is not inode_cgwb_move_to_attached() yet, I replaced it with inode_io_list_del_locked(). So, below is the test patch I am applying. Please have a check. By the way, the test will take some time. I will provide feedback when it is finished. Thanks.

Yeah, I forgot about the return.

Looks good. Thanks for testing!
