Hi Christoph, thanks for looking into this. You're right, this series fixes both issues. The problem I see though is that it relies on legacy IO path removal - for v5.0 and beyond, all fine. But backporting that to v4.17-v4.20 stable series will be quite painful.
My fixes are mostly "oneliners". If we could get both approaches upstream, that'd be perfect!
But they basically just fix code that otherwise gets removed. And the way this patches uses the ENTERED flag from the md code looks slightly sketchy to me. Maybe we want them as stable only patches.
