I see no data corruption bugs that have been reported that are being
ignored, link to the email?  The invalidate stuff was causing problems (not
a btrfs problem, we just got hurt by it the most), and it looks like those
were cleared up.  I'm working on the only data corruption problem I know of
at the moment and it's not super clear its a data corruption problem.
