Patched 6.15 and 6.12 kerrnel with btrfs fix for log corruption

Hi,

looks like a potentially serious btrfs bug has recently been triaged and fixed

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux.git/commit/?h=for-6.17-fix&id=0a32e4f0025a74c70dcab4478e9b29c22f5ecf2f

I understand that the issue is more likely to bite in 6.15.3+, but the ultimate bug is old and present in the “stable” kernel as well, so that downgrading from the current manjaro 6.15.7 to 6.12.x is not a bulletproof recipe for avoiding data loss due to log corruption.

Because the patch is said to be relatively easy to backport, I wonder if it might be possible to get a downstream patched 6.15 or to get the 6.15.x with the upstream applied patch asap.

If possible many thanks. If not possible, still thanks for the attention!
