All, Kudos to the opensuse team for pushing the 4.4.62 update out. That said, the sheer number of btrfs bug fixes included is both encouraging and troubling at the same time. Especially fundamental issues like: - btrfs: do not write corrupted metadata blocks to disk (bsc#1012452). - btrfs: Fix block size returned to user space (bsc#1012452). - btrfs: fix invalid reference in replace_path (bsc#1012452). - btrfs: fix listxattrs not listing all xattrs packed in the same item (bsc#1012452). - btrfs: fix truncate_space_check (bsc#1012452). - btrfs: make sure we stay inside the bvec during __btrfs_lookup_bio_sums (bsc#1012452). - btrfs: reada: Add missed segment checking in reada_find_zone (bsc#1012452). - btrfs: reada: Avoid many times of empty loop (bsc#1012452). - btrfs: Reset IO error counters before start of device replacing (bsc#1012452). - btrfs: use proper type for failrec in extent_state (bsc#1012452). ([security-announce] openSUSE-SU-2017:1140-1: important: Security update for the Linux Kernel) Now granted, I don't begin to understand all the intricacies of the btrfs code and many of the above may be benign, but writing corrupted metadata to disk, fixing block sizes, invalid references, staying inside bounds, missing segment checking, basic profiling issues, failing to reset counters, use of improper types, etc.. just doesn't sound good. I'm glad to see things progressing, and I'll continue to monitor the list for BTRFS issues (with a continuing trickle of "During the last month I had to reinstall _all_ of them. All with broken / inconsitent / strange behaving root Btrfs file systems." type posts) Keep up the good work. -- David C.
