It is already fixed, i.e. it applies cleanly against the existing (i.e. 4.19.5) kernel. What I meant is that, there is little or no point in applying a short-lived patch as there is no conceivable reason that it can become a long-lived one. Whatever else may have changed (all for the better of course) in the past 20 years in Linux kernel development, I presume the basic fundamental fact that no patch is accepted if the relevant maintainer has objections to it is still intact. And I am both the author and the maintainer of the BFS filesystem. Kind regards, Tigran
