This one looks good to me for btrfs.
But still a question related to kasan_unpoison_range().

There is a LKP report that __kasan_unpoison_range() is not properly
exported thus if btrfs is compiled as a module, we can not properly link
the module.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/202603240559.BNndaqHO-lkp@intel.com/
You may need to export __kasan_unpoison_range() to fix it, or explain
why kasan_unpoison_range() is needed here.
AFAIK those pages are already unpoisoned at allocation, thus I'm not
sure why we need to call kasan_unpoison_range() here again.
Thanks,
