Hi Suraj,

All of the patches to fix BZ 206443 are now on the ext4 git tree:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git/log/?h=dev

I'm currently giving them a full regression test set using xfstests.
Could you run your tests to make sure it looks good for you?

I'm hoping to issue a pull request to Linus in time for 5.6-rc3 by
this weekend.

Also, if you can figure out a way to package up the repro as an
xfstests test case, that would be really excellent.  I think the
challenge is that some of them took a *huge* amount of pounding before
they repro'ed, correct?  I wasn't actually able to trigger the repro
using kvm, but I was only using a 2 CPU configuration.

Thanks,
