None of the XFS patches you're backporting were marked for stable.
What criteria did you choose them by, and how are you testing the
result?

Randomly picked XFS backports have a nasty habit of causing
regressions, and it's always me that is on the pointy end of having
to triage problems users report with those backports...

Dave.
