We had a similar patch floating around, but as already mentioned our
current understanding is that systemd-resizefs will be the way forward.
So this patch should not be merged while we still hold on to that idea
and wait for that systemd patch to arrive and cover the one corner-case
it still leaves open.
Is the btrfs a corner case? ;-)
It is OK do not let go it into the mainstream. After all the btrfs is less performant than ext4 but it has a data corruption feature that cannot allow corrupted data to be read. It might worth a consideration in some fields/applications.
It has been designed just to be a transitional quick-patch.
Thanks for your opinion and feedback, R-
