After reading this series of posts about rbd format 2 patches I began wondering if we should start testing these patches as well or not. To put it simply, what I'd like to know is: Is it enough to use the 3.6 vanilla kernel client to take full advantage of the rbd changes in v0.52 (i.e. new RBD cloning features)? Do we have any benefits from applying any of these patches on top of v3.6 and using "format 2", assuming that we stick to v0.52 on the server, or is this strictly v0.53 and beyond stuff? I apologize if this is a dumb question, but by looking at the v0.52 changelog, at doc/rbd/* and the list, it doesn't seem clear how this fits with v0.52.
