Add support for Lustre's IOC_MDC_GETFILESTRIPE ioctl. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 95676 [details] patch for IOC_MDC_GETFILESTRIPE
Can this patch be looked at, please?
Is this something that is in the upstream kernel.org kernels?
Note that in general patches will be reviewed when we have a release upcoming, so don't worry if it sits around for a while.
Hi Tom, IOC_MDC_GETFILESTRIPE is present in the staging tree (drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/include/lustre/lustre_user.h.)
(In reply to Frank Zago (Cray) from comment #5) > IOC_MDC_GETFILESTRIPE is present in the staging tree > (drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/include/lustre/lustre_user.h.) Frank, the patch can land if this ioctl is going to be in the mainline kernel tree. Do you know if it has yet made it there?
Hi Julian, No, it's still being actively cleaned up in the staging tree. AFAIK, there is no timeline to move it to fs/.
Frank, ping me when this hits the mainline kernel. Then we can take the patch in V.
Frank, any news here?
We can't land this until the relevant ioctl is in the mainline tree, since otherwise we have no way to know that it is permanent.
Well, Lustre is likely to be kicked out of staging. So I'm closing that issue for now. I may re-open in a few years :)
