Something interesting I noticed: I created the ext4 file system on a spare partition and installed a chroot. After running the test, I exited the chroot, immediately unmounted the partition and measured how long it took: 1.15.8.5: 0.4s 1.15.8.6: 7.2s 1.15.8.6+patch: 18.4s If I wait a bit (+60s) after exiting the chroot and then do the unmount, it is almost instant (< 0.2s) in all three cases.
