The fix for a regression in the amd_sfh driver that caused memory corruption (which apparently on some systems lead to corruption of btrfs in-memory and on-disk data) now was finally merged to the mainline .

It unluckily just missed 6.12-rc3. 😟

@kernellogger NP, and odd that no one actually tagged that commit to be backported to stable kernels... {sigh}

@gregkh yup 🥴 Fun fact: I fought for a stable tag and even had one maintainer for the subsystem backing me up, but the other maintainer who applied the fix did not care.

@kernellogger And that is why the AUTOSEL bot exists.
