In 2019, Luis started an effort to improve this situation (with some assistance from me and you) that ended up with several submissions of stable patches for v4.19.y, but did not continue beyond 2019. When one looks at xfstest bug reports on the list for xfs on kernels > v4.19 one has to wonder if using xfs on kernels v5.x.y is a wise choice. Which makes me wonder: how do the distro kernel maintainers keep up with xfs fixes? Many of the developers on CC of this message are involved in development of a distro kernel (at least being consulted with), so I would be very much interested to know how and if this issue is being dealt with. Thanks, Amir.
