I looked at this from a for-4.17 POV and ran out of nerve at "[PATCH v9
09/61] xarray: Replace exceptional entries".  It's awfully late.

"[PATCH v9 08/61] page cache: Use xa_lock" looks sufficiently
mechanical to be if-it-compiles-it-works, although perhaps that
shouldn't be in 4.17 either.  Mainly because it commits us to merging
the rest of XArray and there hasn't been a ton of review and test
activity.



It looks like btrfs has changed in -next:
