Re: [PATCH] block: fix splitting segments on boundary masks

Although I was not originally involved in the development of these
patches, I recently came across them while looking over the source:

upstream commit 429120f3df2d ("block: fix splitting segments on boundary masks")
    Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v5.1+
    Fixes: dcebd755926b ("block: use bio_for_each_bvec() to compute multi-page bvec count")

upstream commit 4a2f704eb2d8 ("block: fix get_max_segment_size() overflow on 32bit arch")
    Fixes: 429120f3df2d ("block: fix splitting segments on boundary masks")

The first patch mentions fixing problems with filesystem corruption, so
it seems important, but it has never been included in any -stable
kernel.  Is there a specific reason these patches have been excluded
from -stable, or is it just a mistake?

These patches would be relevant to kernel versions 5.1 - 5.4, with 5.4.y
being the only active stable kernel series in that range.  The patches
apply cleanly on top of 5.4.51.
