Well, the issue is that I've been confused when reviewing the patch
series. I had trouble understanding what the test does and why. I also
had trouble to identify that do_writeback_test never submits a
writeback operation (see other e-mail).

A name that is relevant "all the time, most of the time", is not
relevant at all in my opinion. It just tricks the reader into thinking
the test does one thing, while it also does something else.

If it would be obvious, I wouldn't mind. But here IMHO it hurts
readability. So I'd prefer to rename the function.

If you think it's obvious, then maybe it's just me. I'd love to hear
from others if they have a different opinion.

(As a side note, I agree I have a tendency to bikeshed, I try to mark
my bikesheddings behind "nit:" flags.)
