The master patch is being tested in Oleg's pre-landing testing ahead of it working through LU-11632. Changing kernels does add a little bit of extra lead time on that but I would still hope that we'll have this worked through within the coming week

You're welcome, Olaf.

[Olaf Faaland]

I can backport the patch to Lustre b2_10 branch today so that the patch review testing can be started.

Good idea.  Thanks!

Hi Olaf,
After rebasing the patch on the latest master branch, testing is blocked by LU-11632. I can backport the patch to Lustre b2_10 branch today so that the patch review testing can be started.

Jian or Peter,

Assuming no bugs are found, can you estimate when the test cycle will be complete and the patch will be ready to merge to master and backport to b2_10?

Thanks
