Hi Al,
Here is a pull-req with a set of patches fixing a vboxsf bug for 5.14.
This patch-set has been posted on the linux-fsdevel several times,
unfortunately no-one seem to have interest in / time for reviewing
vboxsf patches.
So as the vboxsf maintainer I'm now sending this pull-req
(based on a signed tag) directly to you, hoping that you will accept
it directly from me.
Note this fixes a bug which users have been hitting in the wild,
so it would be good to get this merged soon.
Regards,
Hans
