There are intermittent reports of corruption and functional issues based on them due to sloppy checking of zone boundaries and a corner case where the free lists are overrun. Reports are not common but at least two users and 0-day have tripped over them. There is a chance that one of the syzbot reports are related but it has not been confirmed properly. The normal submission path is through Andrew but it's now late on a Friday and I do not know if a round of updates are coming your way or not and these patches have been floating around for a while. Given the nature of the fixes, I really would prefer to avoid another RC with corruption issues creating duplicate reports. All of these have been successfully tested on older RC windows. This will make this branch look like a rebase but they've simply been cherry-picked from Andrew's tree and placed on a fresh branch. I've no reason to believe that this has invalidated the testing given the lack of change in compaction and the nature of the fixes. Note that you may still receive these from Andrew and there are other compaction-related fixes in his tree that are less critical. I do not expect them to conflict but there is a non-zero risk of confusion. If you get a bunch of patches from Andrew then please ignore this entirely so the normal submission path is preserved. Otherwise, please either git pull this or pick up the patches directly at your discretion.
