I think this tree doesn't have some of the last minute changes I did before I sent the RFC. I will
sync with Luis offline regarding that.

Yeah, I have noticed this as well. This is the main crash scenario I am noticing
when I am running xfstests, and hopefully we will be able to fix it soon.

In general, we have had better results with 16k block size than 64k block size. I still don't
know why, but the ifs_alloc crash happens in generic/451 with 16k block size.

Hmm, this crossed my mind as well. I am assuming I can really test the sub-folio dirty
tracking code on a system which has a page size greater than the block size? Or is there
some tests that can already test this? CCing Ritesh as well.
