This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 6.16.2 release. There are 564 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.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/stable-review/patch-6.16.2-rc2.... or in the git tree and branch at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-6.16.y and the diffstat can be found below.

As I have reported last week on 6.16.1-rc1 as regression is still noticed on 6.16.2-rc2.
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 7012 at fs/jbd2/transaction.c:334 start_this_handle

The problem is that we only applied the last two patches in: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ext4/20250707140814.542883-1-yi.zhang@huaweicl...
Naresh is on vacation until Monday, but he tested the patchset on linux-next and it fixed the issues. So we need to cherry-pick the following commits.
1bfe6354e097 ext4: process folios writeback in bytes f922c8c2461b ext4: move the calculation of wbc->nr_to_write to mpage_folio_done() ded2d726a304 ext4: fix stale data if it bail out of the extents mapping loop 2bddafea3d0d ext4: refactor the block allocation process of ext4_page_mkwrite() e2c4c49dee64 ext4: restart handle if credits are insufficient during allocating blocks 6b132759b0fe ext4: enhance tracepoints during the folios writeback 95ad8ee45cdb ext4: correct the reserved credits for extent conversion bbbf150f3f85 ext4: reserved credits for one extent during the folio writeback 57661f28756c ext4: replace ext4_writepage_trans_blocks()
They all apply cleanly to 6.16.3-rc1.
