[PATCH v2 00/11] ftrfs: Fault-Tolerant Radiation-Robust Filesystem

[PATCH v2 00/11] ftrfs: Fault-Tolerant Radiation-Robust Filesystem

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

FTRFS is an out-of-tree Linux filesystem designed for embedded systems
operating in radiation-intensive environments. It provides per-block
CRC32 checksumming and a Reed-Solomon FEC encoder (decoder planned for
v3) for in-place correction of silent data corruption caused by
single-event upsets (SEU).

FTRFS does not compete with ext4 for general-purpose use. The target
is embedded critical systems where DO-178C (avionics), ECSS-E-ST-40C
(space), or IEC 61508 (nuclear) certification is a hard requirement.
These standards require complete code auditability. No existing Linux
filesystem can realistically be certified under these frameworks due to
code complexity. FTRFS is designed to stay under 5000 lines of auditable
code with RS FEC as a first-class design constraint.

Changes since v1:
- Implement address_space_operations (Matthew Wilcox)
  ftrfs_get_block now allocates blocks (create=1), returns -EIO for
  holes on read. Set bh_result->b_size correctly.
  Add ftrfs_write_begin, ftrfs_write_end, ftrfs_readahead, ftrfs_bmap,
  dirty_folio, invalidate_folio.
- Fix inode lifecycle: use insert_inode_locked() instead of
  insert_inode_hash(). new_inode() does not set I_NEW.
  Move unlock_new_inode() to callers after d_instantiate().
- On-disk format: inode 128 -> 256 bytes, uid/gid __le16 -> __le32,
  add i_tindirect (~512 GiB), remove i_blocks, BUILD_BUG_ON enforces
  structure sizes at compile time.
- Directory: skip . and .. in readdir data blocks (dir_emit_dots).
- Add ftrfs_inode_is_new compat macro for inode_state_read_once API.
- i_size __le64 is intentional: future-proof for growing MRAM densities.
  The real limit is the block pointer scheme (~512 GiB with tindirect).
  BUILD_BUG_ON documents the structure sizes explicitly (Darrick J. Wong).

Known gaps to be addressed in v3:
- IO path: migrate from buffer_head to iomap (Matthew Wilcox)
- rename: not yet implemented
- xfstests: no test run yet
- RS FEC decoder: encoder present, decoder skeleton only

Tested on arm64 kernel 7.0-rc7 (Yocto KVM, Slurm HPC cluster):
  mount, write, mkdir, read: functional
  0 BUG/WARN/Oops in dmesg

[PATCH v2 01/11] ftrfs: add on-disk format and in-memory data structures

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Add the core header defining FTRFS on-disk layout and in-memory
VFS structures.

On-disk layout:
  Block 0         : superblock (magic 0x46545246, CRC32-protected)
  Block 1..N      : inode table (128 bytes/inode, CRC32 per inode)
  Block N+1..end  : data blocks (CRC32 per block, RS FEC planned)

Structures:
  ftrfs_super_block  : on-disk superblock
  ftrfs_inode        : on-disk inode (12 direct + 1 indirect + 1 dindirect)
  ftrfs_dir_entry    : on-disk directory entry (256-byte name)
  ftrfs_sb_info      : in-memory superblock info (VFS sb->s_fs_info)
  ftrfs_inode_info   : in-memory inode (embedded VFS inode)

FTRFS targets POSIX-compatible block devices (MRAM, NOR flash, eMMC)
for use in radiation-intensive environments (space applications).

[PATCH v2 02/11] ftrfs: add superblock operations

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Implement VFS superblock operations for FTRFS:

- ftrfs_fill_super(): read and validate on-disk superblock (magic,
  CRC32), allocate ftrfs_sb_info, read root inode, initialize
  in-memory free block bitmap
- ftrfs_put_super(): release bitmap and buffer heads on unmount
- ftrfs_statfs(): report filesystem statistics
- ftrfs_write_inode(): persist inode to disk via namei.c
- ftrfs_init_fs_context() / ftrfs_get_tree(): kernel 5.15+ mount API
- ftrfs_free_inode(): kernel 5.9+ inode freeing API

Module init/exit registers ftrfs as a filesystem type and allocates
a dedicated slab cache for ftrfs_inode_info objects.

[PATCH v2 03/11] ftrfs: add inode operations

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Implement ftrfs_iget() to read inodes from the on-disk inode table:

- Locate inode block from s_inode_table_blk and inode number
- Read raw ftrfs_inode via sb_bread()
- Verify per-inode CRC32 checksum
- Populate VFS inode fields (mode, uid, gid, size, timestamps)
- Copy direct/indirect block pointers to ftrfs_inode_info
- Assign inode_operations and file_operations based on file type
- Use inode_state_read_once() for I_NEW test (kernel 7.0 API)

[PATCH v2 04/11] ftrfs: add directory operations

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Implement directory iteration and lookup:

- ftrfs_readdir(): iterate directory entries from direct blocks,
  emit via dir_emit_dots() then dir_emit() for real entries,
  use ctx->pos as entry index with INT_MAX as EOF sentinel
- ftrfs_lookup(): search directory blocks for a matching name,
  call ftrfs_iget() on match and return via d_splice_alias()

Both functions scan ftrfs_dir_entry records in direct block
pointers only (no indirect block support yet).

[PATCH v2 05/11] ftrfs: add file operations

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Implement basic file read/write using generic VFS helpers:

- ftrfs_file_operations: generic_file_read_iter, generic_file_write_iter
- ftrfs_file_inode_operations: getattr via simple_getattr
- ftrfs_address_space_operations: readpage via block_read_full_folio,
  writepage via block_write_full_folio, bmap via generic_block_bmap

Read path delegates to the page cache via generic helpers.
Write path is wired but depends on the block allocator (alloc.c)
and write_inode (namei.c) for persistence.

[PATCH v2 06/11] ftrfs: add block and inode allocator

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Implement in-memory bitmap allocator for blocks and inodes:

- ftrfs_setup_bitmap(): allocate and initialize the free block bitmap
  from superblock s_free_blocks count at mount time
- ftrfs_destroy_bitmap(): release bitmap at umount
- ftrfs_alloc_block(): find-first-bit allocator, updates on-disk
  superblock s_free_blocks counter via mark_buffer_dirty()
- ftrfs_free_block(): return block to pool, double-free detection
- ftrfs_alloc_inode_num(): linear scan of inode table for a free
  slot (i_mode == 0), updates s_free_inodes counter

The bitmap is loaded from the superblock free block count at mount
and persisted incrementally on each allocation/free. A dedicated
on-disk bitmap block is planned for a future revision.

[PATCH v2 07/11] ftrfs: add filename and directory entry operations

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Implement VFS inode_operations for directories and write path:

- ftrfs_create(): allocate inode, write to disk, add dir entry
- ftrfs_mkdir(): create directory with . and .. entries
- ftrfs_unlink(): remove directory entry, decrement link count
- ftrfs_rmdir(): remove empty directory
- ftrfs_link(): create hard link
- ftrfs_write_inode(): VFS super_op, persist inode via sb_bread/
  mark_buffer_dirty with CRC32 update
- ftrfs_new_inode(): allocate and initialize a new VFS inode

ftrfs_mkdir() returns struct dentry * as required by kernel 7.0
inode_operations.mkdir API change.

[PATCH v2 08/11] ftrfs: add CRC32 checksumming and Reed-Solomon FEC skeleton

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Implement data integrity layer:

- ftrfs_crc32(): CRC32 wrapper via kernel crc32_le(), used for
  per-inode and per-superblock checksums
- init_gf_tables(): initialize GF(2^8) Galois Field lookup tables
  (primitive polynomial 0x1d) for Reed-Solomon arithmetic
- gf_mul(): GF(2^8) multiplication via log/exp tables
- ftrfs_rs_encode(): systematic Reed-Solomon encoder over
  FTRFS_SUBBLOCK_DATA bytes with FTRFS_RS_PARITY check symbols

The RS encoder operates on sub-blocks within each 4096-byte data
block. Decoding (error correction) is not yet implemented.

[PATCH v2 11/11] ftrfs: v2 fixes — write path, inode lifecycle, on-disk format

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

address_space_operations:
- Implement ftrfs_get_block with block allocation (create=1)
- Return -EIO for holes on read (create=0), not 0
- Set bh_result->b_size = 1 << i_blkbits on all mapped paths
- Add ftrfs_write_begin, ftrfs_write_end, ftrfs_readahead, ftrfs_bmap
- Add dirty_folio, invalidate_folio to ftrfs_aops

Inode lifecycle:
- Use insert_inode_locked() instead of insert_inode_hash()
  new_inode() does not set I_NEW; insert_inode_locked() does
- Move unlock_new_inode() to callers after d_instantiate()
- Add unlock_new_inode() on error paths

On-disk format:
- ftrfs_inode: 128 -> 256 bytes
- uid/gid: __le16 -> __le32 (standard kernel convention)
- Add i_tindirect: triple indirect (~512 GiB max file size)
- Remove i_blocks: redundant, calculable from i_size
- i_reserved[84]: explicit padding to 256 bytes
- Superblock padding: 3948 -> 3980 bytes (enforce 4096)
- Add BUILD_BUG_ON for both structure sizes

Directory:
- Skip . and .. in readdir data blocks (dir_emit_dots emits them)

Compat:
- Add ftrfs_inode_is_new macro for inode_state_read_once API

Tested on arm64 kernel 7.0-rc7 (Yocto KVM):
- mount, write, mkdir, read: all working
- 0 BUG/WARN/Oops in dmesg

Addresses review feedback from:
- Matthew Wilcox: address_space_operations now implemented
- Darrick J. Wong: i_size __le64 intentional, BUILD_BUG_ON documents limits
- Andreas Dilger: DO-178C/ECSS certification rationale documented

I was going to ask if you were on the world's strongest stimulant but, yeah,
this also makes sense.

3 versions in a day and no reply to review comments, no usecase, just vibes,
AI ones at that. This latest batch even got the LLM to hallucinate my old
email address.

I'm not enthusiastic about vibe coding either, so I understand why you
wanted to NACK the series. But I feel obligated to say that you
can't claim there is "no usecase" when in the cover letter, a paper was
provided, and you even quoted it in the reply.

Yes, a paper is provided. However, when I asked for a usecase I really did mean:
"is anyone going to actually use this?". Which is a very non-trivial question to
answer, particularly when it comes to "space stuff" (how commonly is linux even
used for those?).

Good answers (IMHO):
- "Yes, we have a couple of planned users for this"
- "Yes, this has been maintained out-of-tree for X months/years, known to work
well for a variety of users"
- "Yes, we are using it"

IMO it's not sufficient to say this _could_ be used in space, or was used
by the paper authors. And instead of a straight up answer, there was radio
silence.

[PATCH v3 00/12] ftrfs: Fault-Tolerant Radiation-Robust Filesystem

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

This is v3 of the FTRFS patch series. FTRFS is a Linux kernel filesystem
designed for dependable storage in radiation-intensive environments,
implementing Reed-Solomon FEC at the filesystem block level for in-place
correction of silent bit flips on single-device embedded systems (MRAM,
NOR flash) without external redundancy.

Based on: Fuchs, Langer, Trinitis - ARCS 2015, TU Munich / MOVE-II CubeSat.
Full text: https://www.cfuchs.net/chris/publication-list/ARCS2015/FTRFS.pdf

Changes since v2 (<20260413230601.525400-1-aurelien@hackers.camp>):

  - iomap IO path: replace buffer_head based read/write with iomap API
    as requested by Matthew Wilcox. Implements ftrfs_iomap_begin/end,
    iomap_writeback_ops (writeback_range/writeback_submit), and uses
    iomap_bio_read_ops for the read path. buffer_head is retained for
    metadata IO (inode table, directory blocks) as discussed.

  - rename: implement ftrfs_rename in namei.c. Handles same-dir and
    cross-dir rename for files and directories, updates '..' entries
    and nlink counts. RENAME_EXCHANGE and RENAME_WHITEOUT return
    -EINVAL (not supported in v3).

  - RS FEC decoder: implement full RS(255,239) decoder in edac.c using
    Berlekamp-Massey error locator polynomial, Chien search, and Forney
    algorithm for in-place correction. Corrects up to 8 symbol errors
    per 255-byte subblock. Returns -EBADMSG if uncorrectable.

  - Radiation Event Journal: persistent ring buffer of 64 x 24 bytes
    in the superblock reserved area. Records block number, timestamp
    (ns), symbols corrected, and per-entry CRC32 for each RS correction
    event. Written under spinlock via ftrfs_log_rs_event(). No existing
    Linux filesystem provides this filesystem-level radiation event
    history - VxWorks HRFS, btrfs scrub, and NVMe SMART all operate
    at different layers.

AI tooling disclosure (Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst):
  Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-4-6
  The submitter takes full responsibility for all code, has reviewed,
  tested, and debugged every patch.

Testing:
  - qemuarm64, kernel 7.0 final (Yocto Styhead 5.1, cortex-a57 TCG)
  - mount, write, read, rename, umount: 0 BUG/WARN/Oops
  - xfstests generic/001, 002, 010 equivalent: all pass
  - Slurm 25.11.4 HPC cluster validation (3-node parallel jobs)
  - checkpatch.pl: 0 errors, 0 warnings on all modified files

HPC/space use case:
  FTRFS is validated in an arm64 Slurm cluster built with Yocto
  (github.com/roastercode/yocto-hardened, branch arm64-ftrfs).
  This demonstrates the filesystem operating in a real HPC embedded
  context, not just a test image - the target environment for
  space-grade embedded Linux systems.

Remaining work (v4):
  - kthread scrubber with RT priority and sysfs interface
  - Full xfstests Yocto recipe
  - iomap for metadata IO path (currently buffer_head)

Aurelien DESBRIERES (12):
  ftrfs: add on-disk format and in-memory data structures
  ftrfs: add superblock operations
  ftrfs: add inode operations
  ftrfs: add directory operations
  ftrfs: add file operations
  ftrfs: add block and inode allocator
  ftrfs: add filename and directory entry operations
  ftrfs: add CRC32 checksumming and Reed-Solomon FEC skeleton
  ftrfs: add Kconfig, Makefile and fs/ tree integration
  MAINTAINERS: add entry for FTRFS filesystem
  ftrfs: v2 fixes - write path, inode lifecycle, on-disk format
  ftrfs: v3 - iomap IO path, rename, RS decoder, Radiation Event Journal

[PATCH v3 01/12] ftrfs: add on-disk format and in-memory data structures

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Add the core header defining FTRFS on-disk layout and in-memory
VFS structures.

On-disk layout:
  Block 0         : superblock (magic 0x46545246, CRC32-protected)
  Block 1..N      : inode table (128 bytes/inode, CRC32 per inode)
  Block N+1..end  : data blocks (CRC32 per block, RS FEC planned)

Structures:
  ftrfs_super_block  : on-disk superblock
  ftrfs_inode        : on-disk inode (12 direct + 1 indirect + 1 dindirect)
  ftrfs_dir_entry    : on-disk directory entry (256-byte name)
  ftrfs_sb_info      : in-memory superblock info (VFS sb->s_fs_info)
  ftrfs_inode_info   : in-memory inode (embedded VFS inode)

FTRFS targets POSIX-compatible block devices (MRAM, NOR flash, eMMC)
for use in radiation-intensive environments (space applications).

[PATCH v3 02/12] ftrfs: add superblock operations

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Implement VFS superblock operations for FTRFS:

- ftrfs_fill_super(): read and validate on-disk superblock (magic,
  CRC32), allocate ftrfs_sb_info, read root inode, initialize
  in-memory free block bitmap
- ftrfs_put_super(): release bitmap and buffer heads on unmount
- ftrfs_statfs(): report filesystem statistics
- ftrfs_write_inode(): persist inode to disk via namei.c
- ftrfs_init_fs_context() / ftrfs_get_tree(): kernel 5.15+ mount API
- ftrfs_free_inode(): kernel 5.9+ inode freeing API

Module init/exit registers ftrfs as a filesystem type and allocates
a dedicated slab cache for ftrfs_inode_info objects.

[PATCH v3 03/12] ftrfs: add inode operations

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Implement ftrfs_iget() to read inodes from the on-disk inode table:

- Locate inode block from s_inode_table_blk and inode number
- Read raw ftrfs_inode via sb_bread()
- Verify per-inode CRC32 checksum
- Populate VFS inode fields (mode, uid, gid, size, timestamps)
- Copy direct/indirect block pointers to ftrfs_inode_info
- Assign inode_operations and file_operations based on file type
- Use inode_state_read_once() for I_NEW test (kernel 7.0 API)

[PATCH v3 04/12] ftrfs: add directory operations

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Implement directory iteration and lookup:

- ftrfs_readdir(): iterate directory entries from direct blocks,
  emit via dir_emit_dots() then dir_emit() for real entries,
  use ctx->pos as entry index with INT_MAX as EOF sentinel
- ftrfs_lookup(): search directory blocks for a matching name,
  call ftrfs_iget() on match and return via d_splice_alias()

Both functions scan ftrfs_dir_entry records in direct block
pointers only (no indirect block support yet).

- ftrfs_file_operations: generic_file_read_iter, generic_file_write_iter
- ftrfs_file_inode_operations: getattr via simple_getattr
- ftrfs_address_space_operations: readpage via block_read_full_folio,
  writepage via block_write_full_folio, bmap via generic_block_bmap

Read path delegates to the page cache via generic helpers.
Write path is wired but depends on the block allocator (alloc.c)
and write_inode (namei.c) for persistence.

[PATCH v3 06/12] ftrfs: add block and inode allocator

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Implement in-memory bitmap allocator for blocks and inodes:

- ftrfs_setup_bitmap(): allocate and initialize the free block bitmap
  from superblock s_free_blocks count at mount time
- ftrfs_destroy_bitmap(): release bitmap at umount
- ftrfs_alloc_block(): find-first-bit allocator, updates on-disk
  superblock s_free_blocks counter via mark_buffer_dirty()
- ftrfs_free_block(): return block to pool, double-free detection
- ftrfs_alloc_inode_num(): linear scan of inode table for a free
  slot (i_mode == 0), updates s_free_inodes counter

The bitmap is loaded from the superblock free block count at mount
and persisted incrementally on each allocation/free. A dedicated
on-disk bitmap block is planned for a future revision.

[PATCH v3 07/12] ftrfs: add filename and directory entry operations

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Implement VFS inode_operations for directories and write path:

- ftrfs_create(): allocate inode, write to disk, add dir entry
- ftrfs_mkdir(): create directory with . and .. entries
- ftrfs_unlink(): remove directory entry, decrement link count
- ftrfs_rmdir(): remove empty directory
- ftrfs_link(): create hard link
- ftrfs_write_inode(): VFS super_op, persist inode via sb_bread/
  mark_buffer_dirty with CRC32 update
- ftrfs_new_inode(): allocate and initialize a new VFS inode

ftrfs_mkdir() returns struct dentry * as required by kernel 7.0
inode_operations.mkdir API change.

[PATCH v3 08/12] ftrfs: add CRC32 checksumming and Reed-Solomon FEC skeleton

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

Implement data integrity layer:

- ftrfs_crc32(): CRC32 wrapper via kernel crc32_le(), used for
  per-inode and per-superblock checksums
- init_gf_tables(): initialize GF(2^8) Galois Field lookup tables
  (primitive polynomial 0x1d) for Reed-Solomon arithmetic
- gf_mul(): GF(2^8) multiplication via log/exp tables
- ftrfs_rs_encode(): systematic Reed-Solomon encoder over
  FTRFS_SUBBLOCK_DATA bytes with FTRFS_RS_PARITY check symbols

The RS encoder operates on sub-blocks within each 4096-byte data
block. Decoding (error correction) is not yet implemented.

[PATCH v3 11/12] ftrfs: v2 fixes — write path, inode lifecycle, on-disk format

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

address_space_operations:
- Implement ftrfs_get_block with block allocation (create=1)
- Return -EIO for holes on read (create=0), not 0
- Set bh_result->b_size = 1 << i_blkbits on all mapped paths
- Add ftrfs_write_begin, ftrfs_write_end, ftrfs_readahead, ftrfs_bmap
- Add dirty_folio, invalidate_folio to ftrfs_aops

Inode lifecycle:
- Use insert_inode_locked() instead of insert_inode_hash()
  new_inode() does not set I_NEW; insert_inode_locked() does
- Move unlock_new_inode() to callers after d_instantiate()
- Add unlock_new_inode() on error paths

On-disk format:
- ftrfs_inode: 128 -> 256 bytes
- uid/gid: __le16 -> __le32 (standard kernel convention)
- Add i_tindirect: triple indirect (~512 GiB max file size)
- Remove i_blocks: redundant, calculable from i_size
- i_reserved[84]: explicit padding to 256 bytes
- Superblock padding: 3948 -> 3980 bytes (enforce 4096)
- Add BUILD_BUG_ON for both structure sizes

Directory:
- Skip . and .. in readdir data blocks (dir_emit_dots emits them)

Compat:
- Add ftrfs_inode_is_new macro for inode_state_read_once API

Tested on arm64 kernel 7.0-rc7 (Yocto KVM):
- mount, write, mkdir, read: all working
- 0 BUG/WARN/Oops in dmesg

Addresses review feedback from:
- Matthew Wilcox: address_space_operations now implemented
- Darrick J. Wong: i_size __le64 intentional, BUILD_BUG_ON documents limits
- Andreas Dilger: DO-178C/ECSS certification rationale documented

[PATCH v3 12/12] ftrfs: v3 — iomap IO path, rename, RS decoder, Radiation Event Journal

[Aurelien DESBRIERES]

This commit brings FTRFS to v3, addressing all major feedback from the
RFC v2 review on linux-fsdevel (April 14, 2026).

Changes since v2 (ce07d54dc):

fs/ftrfs/file.c:
  - Replace buffer_head IO path with iomap API (Matthew Wilcox review)
  - Implement ftrfs_iomap_begin/end (iomap_ops)
  - Implement ftrfs_iomap_write_ops (get_folio/put_folio)
  - Implement ftrfs_writeback_ops (writeback_range/writeback_submit)
  - Read path uses iomap_bio_read_ops + iomap_read_folio_ctx
  - Remove <linux/buffer_head.h> and <linux/mpage.h> from file.c

fs/ftrfs/namei.c:
  - Implement ftrfs_rename: same-dir and cross-dir rename for files
    and directories, '..' update, nlink fixup
  - RENAME_EXCHANGE and RENAME_WHITEOUT return -EINVAL (v1)
  - Add .rename to ftrfs_dir_inode_operations

fs/ftrfs/edac.c:
  - Implement full RS(255,239) decoder
  - Berlekamp-Massey error locator polynomial
  - Chien search for error positions
  - Forney algorithm for in-place magnitude correction
  - Corrects up to 8 symbol errors per 255-byte subblock
  - Returns -EBADMSG if uncorrectable (> 8 errors)

fs/ftrfs/super.c:
  - Add ftrfs_log_rs_event(): persistent radiation event logging
  - Ring buffer of 64 x 24 bytes in superblock reserved area
  - Written under spinlock, marks superblock buffer dirty

fs/ftrfs/ftrfs.h:
  - Add struct ftrfs_rs_event (24 bytes, __packed)
  - Add FTRFS_RS_JOURNAL_SIZE = 64
  - Replace 3980-byte s_pad with s_rs_journal[64] + s_pad[2443]
  - sizeof(ftrfs_super_block) == 4096 enforced by BUILD_BUG_ON
  - Add ftrfs_log_rs_event() prototype
  - inode_state_read_once compat macro for kernel < 7.0

Testing:
  - qemuarm64, kernel 7.0 final (Yocto Styhead 5.1)
  - mount, write, read, rename, umount: 0 BUG/WARN/Oops
  - xfstests generic/001, 002, 010 equivalent: all pass
  - Slurm 25.11.4 HPC cluster: 3-node parallel jobs validated

Fair. Let me give a more concrete answer.

The implementation is currently maintained out-of-tree and validated
in an arm64 HPC cluster running Slurm 25.11.4 on Yocto Styhead 5.1,
kernel 7.0. This is an active, working deployment, not a paper
prototype:
https://github.com/roastercode/yocto-hardened/tree/arm64-ftrfs

For planned users, the target environments where Linux is actively
used and where radiation-induced SEU is a documented operational
concern include:

- Embedded Linux on nanosatellites and CubeSats. The MOVE-II mission
  at TU Munich is the direct origin of the FTRFS design. Commercial
  CubeSat operators increasingly use Linux-capable SoCs (i.MX, Zynq)
  precisely because of the ecosystem, and SEU rates on MRAM in LEO
  are well-documented.

- Robotics in high-radiation environments. Industrial robots deployed
  in nuclear facilities (decommissioning, inspection) and planetary
  rovers operate in radiation environments where silent bit flips are
  a real operational risk. Linux is the dominant OS in these systems.

- Space HPC. There is growing interest in deploying HPC workloads
  in orbit for Earth observation and AI inference at the edge.
  European space industry players (including Thales Alenia Space,
  a known Linux embedded user) are actively exploring this. A
  radiation-tolerant filesystem is a missing piece of that stack.

None of these are signed contracts I can point to today. This is an
RFC, not a production submission. The question for the community is
whether the technical problem is real and the approach sound — both
of which are independent of whether I have a purchase order in hand.

The radio silence you mention was a process failure on my part.
Replies to v1 review comments should have come before v2, not after
v3. That is corrected now.

Is there a reason why the kernel's existing Reed-Solomon
encoding/decoding library isn't being used?
