Note for XFS users: 5.9.9 and 5.9.10 have a bad patch which can cause a nice oops with (an erroneous) fs corruption message.

Fixed upstream in eb8409071a1d47e3593cfe077107ac46853182ab, will doubtless hit -stable soon (but doesn't seem to be in the stable queue as I post this).

Thanks ever so much to Darrick Wong for diagnosing the crash on a Sunday evening. :) (if I'd had a brain I'd have checked master myself, because the fix has been there since yesterday, described as critical no less.)
