Hi Zorro!

The fstests list has a limit on how large a single patch can be in terms
of number of lines (10.000, I believe). Since this patchset contains
patches that change about 10.000 lines the fstests list drops those
patches. I ran into this issue before when we added the testsuite in the
first place but it has never been fixed.

The consequence of this is that b4 is missing patches since they are on
no list. This becomes more obvious if you use b4's quilt option which
creates a folder with individual patches:

  0001_src_rename_idmapped_mounts_folder.patch
  0002_src_vfs_rename_idmapped_mounts_c_file.patch
  0003_vfstest_rename_struct_t_idmapped_mounts.patch
  0004_utils_add_missing_global_h_include.patch
  0006_utils_move_helpers_into_utils.patch
  0007_missing_move_sys_execveat_to_missing_h.patch
  0008_utils_add_struct_test_suite.patch
  0011_vfstest_split_out_remaining_idmapped_mount_tests.patch
  series

so this is missing patches 9 and 10...

I think we will have the same problem, i.e., patches will not be on the
list since they are too large and so b4 won't work. To work around this
I'll give you a signed tag to pull from in the cover letter.
