Am I missing something here? I wonder how s390 works without this change?

ext2 should not worry about checking sb->s_blocksize for XIP before the
sb's blocksize actually gets set.

"blocksize" contains the blocksize of the device here, and sb->s_blocksize does contain the filesystem block size as saved in the super block. Xip does only work, if both do match PAGE_SIZE because it does'nt support multiple calls to direct_access in the get_xip_page address space operation. Thus we check both here, actually this was changed from how it looks after your patch as a bugfix where our tester tried a 4k filesystem on a 2k blockdev.
Did I miss something?
