Currently we have:

fuse_do_setattr()
  fuse_set_nowrite()
    spin_lock(&fc->lock)
    fi->writectr += FUSE_NOWRITE
    spin_unlock(&fc->lock)
    inode_dio_wait(inode)
    wait_event(fi->page_waitq, fi->writectr == FUSE_NOWRITE)
                                                                  request_end()
                                                                    spin_lock(&fc->lock)
                                                                    flush_bg_queue()
                                                                      req = list_first_entry(&fc->bg_queue, struct fuse_req, list);
                                                                      fc->kio.op->req_send(fc, req, true, true)

The same behavior. There are no new races the patch introduces.
