 Just a small followup to this PR, as this bug is definitely still
 present in 5.1-BETA (using GENERIC kernel).
 
 I did the same test on a different machine, with 256MB physical memory
 and a md of size 256M, and again obtained discrepancies when filling
 it with tar.
 
 If this problem cannot be solved before 5.1-RELEASE, I think it would
 be a good idea to mention it somewhere, as there seems to be lots of
 people around who used memfs for /tmp under 4.x, and may end up with
 corrupted data because of that.
 
 Cheers,
