Is there any reason why this can't be applied in for-linus? Does it need more testing? Still no corruption here after copying the whole root FS in subvolume after btrfs-convert, this FS is used everyday with big image files, clients backups of Windows directories (small files) and 3 snapshots a day, using cp --reflink for whole image copy to test recovery and more.
BTRFS is the only module I need to recompile on this machine after each upgrading the kernel to apply this patch.
