It's confusing.
My FAST '15 paper was co-authored with AdvFS developers from the HP
Storage Division. The paper mentions the open-source release of AdvFS.
There's not a lot of recent activity on open-source AdvFS:
https://sourceforge.net/p/advfs/discussion/
One thing is certain, however: HP did not "abandon" AdvFS in 2008. At
the time of my FAST paper it was used under the hood in HP products and
was being actively developed internally. See Section 3 of the FAST paper.
The whole point of the paper is to describe a new (internal-only) AdvFS
feature.
I'm pretty sure (relying on memory) that the changes to AdvFS made by HP
between 2008 and 2015 did not find their way into the open-source release.

Just to put the record straight, HP did (abandon and) open source AdvFS
in June 2008.
