4.5 has already been released, but I think these patches are suitable
for the v4.[345].y-stable branch (which I think is the question you
are really asking).

Al, are you willing to push all of these to Linus before the merge
window closes, with a cc to stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?  Or I can push
them to linus via the ext4.git tree if I get signoffs/acked-by's from
the VFS and NFS maintainers.

I'll want to do a full a regression test cycle since we're pushing
patches created after the merge window opened, but I consider these
bug fixes and will certainly support pushing them to Linus as far as
ext4 is concerned.

Cheers,
