Yes, different one.  Previously the VFS called ->write_super just before
->put_super.  Now any left over writeback needs to be dealt with by
the filesystem.  For now I have added a call to the write_super method
to all filesystems, but most likely this can be removed later after
an audit by someone who knows the filesystem.
