FWIW I added Eryu's patch and then all of Jan's to my 4.12-fixes branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfs-linux.git/log/?h=xfs-4.12-fixes

(Have a look to make sure I didn't miss anything, but be warned that I
have no reservations against reworking a personal repo branch arbitrarily).

Then I ran all the tests I saw mentioned (g/285, g/436, 4k and 1k block
sizes) and didn't see any problems, so I'm now running all the other
tests.  If nothing blows up then that'll end up as the next push to
Linus around the end of the week.
