Same again - what's the test plan for these cherry-picked data corruption fixes?

Dave,

Just to check if we are on the same page, if this was the test plan: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-xfs/msg20639.html

Would "no regressions from baseline" have been sufficient to validate those specific patches are solid for stable?

No, not in this case, because fsx in fstests only does 100k ops at most - it's a smoke test. This isn't sufficient to regression test fixes that, in some cases, took hundreds of millions of fsx ops to expose.

Cheers,

Dave.
