I proposed the said flag and Al didn't think it was needed [1] 2. ext4 already sets s_uuid without any flag for a long time now 3. A similar patch was queued for v4.12 to set s_uuid for xfs without any flag I think it would be right to take Oleksij's patch as is. FYI, my current work on 'constant inode numbers for overlayfs' requires that underlying filesystem had set a non-zero s_uuid. Not sure if that matters for ubifs+overlayfs users. If VFS maintainers are fine with that, I'll take it. From UBIFS' POV it does not matter much. :-) Ping to VFS maintainers? What ping? Al made it clear that a flag is not needed. BTW, xfs s_uuid patch was merged to master.
I'm talking about ubifs patch.
