I don't think this is documented specifically; you'd have to go
through the git logs. Talked with the team and 4.14 was the upstream
kernel when we marked multi-MDS as stable, with the general stream of
ongoing fixes that always applies there.

There aren't any known issues that will cause file consistency to
break or anything; I'd be more worried about clients having issues
reconnecting when their network blips or an MDS fails over.
