Hi Jens,

There are block changes in this series. I was going to ask Carlos to 
queue this work via the XFS tree, so can you let me know whether you 
have any issue with those (block) changes. There is a fix included, 
which I can manually backport to stable (if not autoselected).

Note that I still plan on sending a v10 for this series, to fix a small 
documentation issue which Darrick noticed.

BTW, I was hoping to send non-RFCs patches for atomic write RAID support 
soon, originally sent in:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20240919092302.3094725-1-john.g.garry@oracle.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20240903150748.2179966-1-john.g.garry@oracle.com/

They should not have any dependency or conflict with this series.

Thanks,
John
