 A bug that made multi-pack bitmap and the object order out-of-sync
 (hence the .midx data gets corrupted) has been fixed.

 Will merge to 'next'?

Let's wait. The patch does fix the bug, but somewhat accidentally. I
have a few proposed directions in the discussion beginning at:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/YbOeEjNic5ETGcdy@nand.local/ (local)

but I want to hear from others before deciding on a direction.

Thanks.
