It turns out that Case 5 can be implemented via a better pattern, as long
as we're just dealing with a page at a time, briefly:

lock_page()
write to page's data
unlock_page()

...which neatly synchronizes with writeback and other fs activities.

I was going to track down the Case 5's and do that [1].

+CC Jan and Matthew, to keep us on the straight and narrow, just in case
I'm misunderstanding something.
