Thanks. Will fix. Maybe it's a good idea to add sysfs fixes > into a new patch. I'd prefer a single patch as it fixes the same problem for one structure, the context of use is not that important to justify 2 patches. I went through the possible uses of superblock again and did not find anything else than the update_super_roots and sysfs read handlers. There are some direct uses of super block members, like label, sys_array, uuid that are passed unconverted and must be accessed via the set/get helpers. In some places the superblock is put to a temporary variable so simple grep may miss these. > > And what about cc this to stable kernel? > > IIRC it's a very critical problem for btrfs. If the filesystem is always used on a same endianity host, this will not be a problem. Moving between opposite endianity hosts will report bogus numbers in sysfs and the backup root would not be restored correctly. As this is not common, I'd rate thats as a bugfix for stable, but "only" a serious one. > > Maybe cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v3.2+? > > Thanks for the suggestion. Will do.

If the patch does not apply to some older stable branch, all involved people get a mail from stable team and have an opportunity to send an updated version of the patch. Regarding the long-term branches, I would consider 4.4 and up. Anything older is a plus but fixing merge conflicts is more likely there so I think the respective maintainers would either fix it by themselves or ask for help. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
