This was useful for testing gVisor[1] and could also be used for testing Windows Subsystem for Linux v1. As I recall, either Dave or Cristoph objected, even though the diffstat was +73, -4 lines in common/rc. [1] https://gvisor.dev/ So if it is really simple, it's also not hard to keep it in an out-of-tree patch. I've been maintaining [2] in my personal xfstests branch, and kept it rebased on top of next, for years. I figured it was easier to keep it out of tree than to try to fight through Dave or Cristoph's objects to get it upstream.... [2] https://github.com/tytso/xfstests/commit/7f8047273c8c963fdb9c3d441fe6d0f2a50cd4a3 So even if we can't get Lustre support upstream, I'm happy to maintain it at my xfstests tree on github, much like I have with the "local" file system type, for the past 8+ years.
