After #16361 you could do this magic in userspace. @pussuw #16361 would definitely be the best if we could cover this type of scenario. However, the changes in this current Pull Request (PR) are quite extensive, so it's unlikely to be merged into the mainline quickly. There's a possibility of stability issues, so we should ensure its reliability through some testing. Therefore, I will pick it up internally and conduct LTP (Linux Test Project) functional testing, 24-hour Monkey stress testing, as well as functional testing on multiple platforms, before approving it. Therefore, our priority is to ensure that the current design is sound. You can continue to rework based on #16361 . -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
