I'd just do what you usually do, that's usually the best way to gain
confidence in the fix. But it's related to writeback throttling _and_
racing with eg iostats grabbing a reference to the request, so it would
be more likely to trigger with a heavier combination of those two.
That said, I'm pretty confident in the fix, so if you'd just use it for
a day or two, then with the previous amount of hangs you saw on -rc2 it
should provide a good level of confidence in it.
