Cover letter [PATCH STABLE 4.9 5.4 0/2] btrfs: raid56 backports to reduce destructive RMW

Hi Greg and Sasha,

This two patches are backports for stable branchs from v4.9 to v5.4.

These two patches are reducing the chance of destructive RMW cycle, where btrfs can use corrupted data to generate new P/Q, thus making some repairable data unrepairable.

Those patches are more important than what I initially thought, thus unfortunately they are not CCed to stable by themselves.

Furthermore due to recent refactors/renames, there are quite some member change related to those patches, thus have to be manually backported.

One of the fastest way to verify the behavior is the existing btrfs/125 test case from fstests. (not in auto group AFAIK).
