It's indeed missing the two previous patches to the writeback code that I thought Jens sent to Linus aswell [1]. The race was initially found using a distro kernel with the patches backported, and in the meantime we've done a lot of testing with this patch (and the two previous that also were backported). I'd prefer to get this full stack that's been in -next for a while and got large machine testing, but if Jens prefers it I can aim for a smaller variant. Jens, what version do you prefer?
[1] thee patches are:
"writeback: remove writeback_inodes_wbc" a73dd720f081cd160e3843d531eff2195036e442 "writeback: split writeback_inodes_wb" 9f98c0faa41ae334d894762f556195c8a7fb352f
