Actually, the entire "orphan" case uses 'ext4_handle_dirty_super_now()', so this code-path is actually unaffected by my patch-set, so I do not have to even worry about it. My changes affect only the 'ext4_handle_dirty_super()' users, and there are only 3 of them, and they are extremely rare one-time events. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy
