I'm new to the list so Hi to all,
I'm working with a heavily patched 5.14 kernel and I've gathered
together patches to bring erofs
up to 5.19 and I'm trying to run the erofs and fscache tests from a
checkout of the 1.7.1 repo.
(branch experimental-tests-fscache) and I have a couple of fails I
can't quite work out so I'm
hoping for a little halp.
Thanks for your interest and provide the detailed infos.
I guess a modified 5.14 kernel may be originated from RHEL 9?
Yes, that's right.
I am working on improving erofs support in RHEL which of course goes
via CentOS Stream 9.
BTW, could you submit the current patches to CentOS stream 9 mainline?
so I could review as well.
CentOS Stream is meant to allow our development to be public so, yes, I
would like to do that.
It will be interesting to see how it works, I'll have a look around the
CentOS web site to see if I can work
out how it looks to external people.
Timing is good too as I'm about to construct a merge request and our
process requires that to be against
the CentOS Stream repo.
That repository is located on GitLab ... so we'll need to work out how
to go about that.
I have a plan to backport the latest EROFS to CentOS stream 9, but
currently I'm busy in internal stuffs, so it's still a bit delayed...
Right, Eric mentioned you were keen to help out.
The full back port is a bit much to do in one step, I'd like to let
it settle for a minor release before considering
further back port effort. Of course any assistance is also welcome if
and when you have time.
Yeah, since you've already picked to Linux 5.19. So I think I could
also give a try if these commits are available on gitlab...
I think I can help nail down the issue (fscache/005) too.
Right, there are only a couple of problems with the tests so I've
decided to go ahead with the merge request and
work the test problems out those out as I go.
