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.
OK, it makes sense to me, if that is a possibility. The fist one is clearly a small and non-intrusive fix. The 2nd indeed is more invasive heh
Please let me know how to proceed to have that added at least in stable trees; this would help a lot the distro side of the world hehe
Cheers,
Guilherme
