Tejun and Jan,

Gentle ping on v6. Patches 1 and 2 carry Tejun's acks. Patch 3 changed
in v6 to queue replaced_work again when a switch lands on a wb that was
replaced after the switch was queued, as Tejun suggested on v5, and it
hasn't had review yet. Jan, you confirmed on v3 that switching all of a
replaced wb's inodes, dirty ones included, is safe; would you have time
to look at patch 3?

Christian, if they're happy with it, could the series go into
vfs-7.4.misc next to Xin's 168a8c13159c? It still applies cleanly there
and to 7.3-rc7. If that's too late for this cycle, I'm happy to repost
on whatever base you'd like to queue it on.

Thanks,
Liz
