I don't think this is the VFS-controlled VFS file data writeback, which
we wait on, but some kind of fs controlled metadata.  And yes, it looks
like those file systems are buggy in that area.  We definitively had
such bugs in XFS before and fixed them.

e.g. 9c7504aa72b6 ("xfs: track and serialize in-flight async buffers against
unmount")
