Actually, what Mel was working on (mapping lock contention) was not
related to the reported XFS regression. The regression was an XFS
sub-page write issue introduced by the new iomap infrastructure,
and nobody has been able to reproduce it exactly
outside of the reaim benchmark. We've reproduced other, similar
issues, and the fixes for those are queued for the 4.9 window.

Cheers,

Dave.
