This does not look like a good candidate for a stable release
upstream, but to anwer your question bout making it to Debian: to make
that happen, ensure it lands upstream in the 6.1.y series by asking
upstream to backport it (if confirmed it fixes a bug in the 6.1.y
series).

As the change is rather substantial, I would suggest to first approach
the XFS maintainers and in particular the two involved in the commit.

Hope this helps,

Regards,
Salvatore
