** Description changed:

- OpenZFS linux kernel module currently has multiple potential data
- corruption issues identified to have been present since at least 0.6
- (?!).
+ [ Impact ]
  
- This bug report will track upgrades to releases 2.2.2, OR 2.1.14, OR
- backport/cherry-pick of dirty dnode patch.
+  * Multiple data corruption issues have been identified and fixed in
+ ZFS. Some of them, at varying real-life reproducibility frequency have
+ been deterimed to affect very old zfs releases. Recommendation is to
+ upgrade to 2.2.2 or 2.1.14 or backport dnat patch alone. This is to
+ ensure users get other potentially related fixes and runtime tunables to
+ possibly mitigate other bugs that are related and are being fixed
+ upstream for future releases.
+ 
+  * For jammy the 2.1.14 upgrade will bring HWE kernel support and also
+ compatiblity/support for hardened kernel builds that mitigate SLS
+ (straight-line-speculation).
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+  * !!! Danger !!! use reproducer from
+ https://zfsonlinux.topicbox.com/groups/zfs-discuss/T12876116b8607cdb and
+ confirm if that issue is resolved or not. Do not run on production ZFS
+ pools / systems.
+ 
+  * autopkgtest pass (from https://ubuntu-archive-
+ team.ubuntu.com/proposed-migration/ )
+ 
+  * adt-matrix pass (from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/adt-matrix/ )
+ 
+  * kernel regression zfs testsuite pass (from Kernel team RT test
+ results summary, private)
+ 
+  * zsys integration test pass (upgrade of zsys installed systems for all
+ releases)
+ 
+  * zsys install test pass (for daily images of LTS releases only that
+ have such installer support, as per iso tracker test case)
+ 
+  * LXD (ping LXD team to upgrade vendored in tooling to 2.2.2 and
+ 2.1.14, and test LXD on these updated kernels)
+ 
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+  * Upgrade to 2.1.14 on jammy with SLS mitigations compatiblity will 
introduce slight slow down on amd64 (for hw accelerated assembly code-paths 
only in the encryption primitives)
+  
+  * Uncertain of the perfomance impact of the extra checks in dnat patch fix 
itself. Possibly affecting speed of operation, at the benefit of correctness.
