Hi Michal, I hope you have been doing well! Maybe this is a good opportunity to squash concerns about the series : -) I've sent a new version which addresses a lot of the concerns that David Hildenbrand had previously brought up [1]. This implementation is as transparent as can be to the user. I hope that this makes sense to you! IIRC you had some concerns about getting the interface right the first time we introduce this feature. Hopefully with no user-visible features (and only a mount option) your concerns there are resolved and hopefully we can work to figure out what remaining concerns there are. Thank you as always for your time. I hope you have a great day! Joshua [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260807202059.2620949-1-joshua.hahnjy@gmail.com/
