Hi all,
So vboxsf has finally landed upstream. I gave up getting it
merged
directly under fs/vboxsf since despite some fs-devel folks
saying
that it was as good as it is going to get (given the
limitations
of the API exposed by the host) it seems that the fs subsys
maintainers
did not have the time to take a look at it.
So I've send it to GKH for merging under drivers/staging
instead
and somewhat to my surprise (not complaining) he send it in
for
this cycle.
Since this upstream now; and despite being in staging has
alread seen
multiple reviews, I would like to get this enabled for the
Fedora 5.4
kernels so that shared-folders will just work for users
running Fedora
as a VirtualBox guest.
So unless there are any objections I'm going to flip the
configs/fedora/generic/CONFIG_VBOXSF_FS file to m and enable
this in rawhide
soon.
Apart from the fact it's already been enabled by Jeremy? :-P

I guess you can put me in the "no objections" camp.
Well, it was fun while it lasted. It was just pulled by Linus. I am
guessing 5.5 now.
Yes I was about to say the same thing... <sigh>
Any news ? is for 5.5 ? or not ?
It has been excepted directly under fs/vboxsf by Al Viro now and it is in -next
as such, see e.g.:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/fs/Kconfig
It is not entirely clear to me if it will make it into 5.6 or if this is
5.7 stuff, definitely not 5.5.
But since this is completely isolated code, we can easily drop it into
the Fedora 5.5 kernels once it is upstream, assuming it makes 5.6-rc1
and assuming that the Fedora kernel maintainers are ok with carying at
as a (single patch) downstream patch for 1 kernel cycle.
I'm not sure which kernel Fedora 32 will target, assuming it will target
5.6 (which seems likely) then for the OOTB livecd experience there is
little to gain from adding the patch to the Fedora 5.5 kernels, OTOH
for people installing F31, this will enable shared folder functionality
by just doing a "dnf update" which would be nice.
Sérgio, do you have a preference whether we should backport to 5.5 or not ?
Regards,
Hans
