Regarding 2), it seems multiple instances of nilfs_cleanerd can be star=
ted for=20
one filesystem (which leads to metadata corruption, as per my earlier=20
``Regarding problem with nilfs_cleanerd - part 2 and Nilfs_cleanerd err=
=3D-17''=20
mail).

Is that intentional? Should we guard on nilfs_cleanerd level, or on ker=
nel=20
level?
