Hi
Using upstream kernel, the symlink does not get corrupted in the test of generic/754 on xfs.
But the check of xfs_repair still fails with "mismatch between format (2) and size (297) in symlink ino 139".
Does xfs_repair need to make corresponding modifications to the upstream kernel fix commit?
Could anyone help take a look?
Package Version:
kernel: 6.10.0
xfs_repair: 6.9.0
Results:
```
