Hi Greg and Sasha,

This two patches are backports for stable branchs from v4.9 to v5.4.

Please note that these commits are not even in a public release from Linus yet, so I would need a LOT of assurance from the BTRFS maintainers that they are all allowed to be taken now as that goes against the normal development cycle here.

Does this mean, normally backports only happen after a full release, not just after -rc releases?

Thanks, Qu

thanks,
