Bcachefs Squeezes More Fixes Into Linux 6.12


Ahead of the expected final Linux 6.12 stable kernel release this weekend, a last round of Bcachefs file-system fixes were submitted today for this next kernel version.

There is also a fix for a case where the btree write buffer wasn't being flushed on the shutdown path and thus leading to shutting down while operations were still in flight. When enabling Bcachefs self-healing support it's expected to bring in another wave of Syzbot bugs. so I would say things are slowing down here, except now that I've got an easy way to run syzbot reproducers I'm noticing that we're losing a lot of coverage because mainly we're mostly bailing out when we see something corrupt.
