nice to see BTRFS fixes being pushed into stable:
Josef Bacik (4):
Btrfs: copy everything if we've created an inline extent
Btrfs: delete inline extents when we find them during logging
Btrfs: account for orphan inodes properly during cleanup
Btrfs: cleanup orphan reservation if truncate fails
Thomas Gleixner (1):
btrfs: Init io_lock after cloning btrfs device struct

The days of having rc kernels recommended to work around a bug may be ending.

(have been running BTRFS on a storage partition for about a year with no serious issues (though i got confused when i added a second device converted to RAID1, and then tried to remove a device. it failed because the metadata was only in DUP (not guaranteed to have a copy on each device))).
