 Fixes
 -----
 
+Pre-v6.2 Linux kernels had long-standing bug in how the extended
+attribute hash was calculated when there were non-ASCII characters in
+the xattr name, when the hash would be different depending on whether
+the C 'char' type was signed or unsigned.  To address this bug, starting
+with e2fsprogs 1.46.6+ and Linux 6.2+, we will accept either the signed
+or unsigned hash variant, but only set the unsigned hash variant.  Since
+extended attribute names are in practice composed of ASCII characters,
+other than various tests (such as generic/454), most users will
+hopefully not notice this change.
+
 Avoid triggering udev in dumpe2fs and "resize2fs -P" for file systems
 with MMP enabled by opening the device read-only when reading the MMP
 block.
 
+Fix MMP handling so it can notice when another writer has modify the MMP
+block out from under it when stopping a MMP sessions.

+while rewriting metadata checksums.
