Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Fix failing overlay nonsamefs fstests
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2018 17:16:56 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1524061018-20413-1-git-send-email-amir73il@gmail.com> (raw)

Eryu,

The modified 3 tests were introduced to track a non-standard
behavior of overlayfs w.r.t. inode numbers with nonsamefs
configuration.

This behavior cannot be fixed with all underlying filesystems
unless user opts-in for the xino feature.

xino feature was introduced in kernel v4.17-rc1. This patch
set converts the tests to notrun instead of failing on old kernels
and opts-in for xino with new kernels.

FYI, Miklos has a patch set in review to fix the last of the
non-standard behavior tracking test that is still failing (overlay/016).
After that patch set is merged, all overlay tests will be expected to
pass on master - new era ;-)

Thanks,
Amir.
