Description:

I'm not sure this is the best place to report / disccuss this. I haven't reproduced this on my end because I'm not using the Testing repository, but I happened to notice that 5.10.* kernel is missing an [important patch](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=7a6e59d719ef0ec9b3d765cba3ba98ee585cbde3) for F2FS in order to not corrupt the filesystem.

This has been patched in [Gentoo](https://bugs.gentoo.org/760573) for 5.10 but I don't see any actions for the Arch Linux kernel. The discussion can be seen [here](https://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg432897.html) and I don't think this has been backported yet.
This task depends upon

The fix looks like it will be included in 5.10.3 now --> https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/12/23/381

I can confirm that it is booting fine with Linux 5.10.3.arch1-1 which is currently in testing.

I don't want to give the impression it fixed something for me, to be more specific, I've never seen the issue on the previous kernels because I wasn't using the Testing repository. I'm not sure if there is a way to trigger it, but I don't see any issues the past 30 minutes I'm using it.
