I don't know this area, so this will be likely easily shown impossible, but perhaps it's useful to do that explicitly. What if instead of reparenting each inode, we "reparent" the wb? But I see it's not a small object either. Could we then add some bias for inode switching conditions so that anyone else touching the inode from dead wb would get it immediately? And what would happen if we reused the reparented wb's for newly created cgroups? Would it "punish" them for the old inodes?
