Hi Cordell,
Thanks Diederik for providing Cordell with more details on how to
bisect the Debian version.

That's good thanks!

Okay given that is not a production system, and the ext4 data
corruption issue is hit under very specific circumstances (see
https://lwn.net/Articles/954841/) I think you can safely still use the
upstream stable repostiory for bisect. Altenative is that you on
bisect apply as well the prerequisite commit, for those having the
ext4 data corruption causing commit otherwise.
Makes the bisect bit more complicated but can work.

Salvatore
