Hi!
This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 5.10.213 release.
There are 73 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response
to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please
let me know.
While debugging "search for known-bad commit" script, I noticed:
We have
41b3cc57d626d c2e39305299f0 btrfs: clear extent buffer uptodate when
we fail to write it
commit in 5.10, which is fixed by this, but we don't have that one:
651740a502411 btrfs: check WRITE_ERR when trying to read an extent
buffer
Hey Pavel,
There are two reasons it didn't make it into 5.10 or 5.4:
1. It doesn't build on any of those kernels, and we haven't gotten a
backport we could apply.
2. There's a follow-up fix that happened soon after ( 40cdc509877b
("btrfs: skip reserved bytes warning on unmount after log cleanup
failure") ) which needs a backport on it's own.
