Public bug reported:

Hi

Recently the openzfs developers fixed a nasty corruption bug with
sending encrypted zfs streams that took years to troubleshoot and is
veru widespread, including on all ubuntu installations with zfs support.

The commit fixing this can be found on
https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/commit/ea74cdedda8b9575d7e94198d38f12943ac41343
and is extremely small, changing only 3 lines of code.

I would recommend to backport this fix into the existing Ubuntu LTS
versions, as it potentially has a huge impact on your userbase and the
cost/benefit ratio seems very favorable.

Also, Allan Jude (a core senior zfs developer supporting ubuntu with zfs
for commercial organizations) offered to help getting this done.

It is a game changer for zfs users that want to benefit from native zfs
encryption.
