Since I do not see the lack of reviewing capacity problem get solved
anytime soon, I was wondering if you are ok with putting the code
in drivers/staging/vboxsf for now, until someone can review it and ack it
for moving over to sf/vboxsf ?
I have no objection to that if the vfs developers do not mind.
We had really bad experiences with fs code in staging. I think it is
a bad idea that should not be repeated.
Lustre was a mistake. erofs is better in that there are active
developers working to get it out of staging. We would also need that
here for this to be successful.
Hans, is it just review that is keeping this from being merged or is
there "real work" that has to be done?
AFAIK it is just the reveiw which is keeping this from being merged.
During the first few revision Al Viro made some very good suggestions
which have all been addressed, v10 was reviewed by David Howell, and the
main thing to fix for that was switching over to the new mountfd APIs,
v11 was also revieded by David and had some minor issues with the use
of the new mountfd APIs. Those were all addressed for v12. So currently
the TODO list for this fs code is empty.
Regards,
Hans
