    Description

      This Ubuntu 20.04 security-related kernel patch collides with ldiskfs patches in ext4-pdirop.patch and prevents Lustre from building:

      https://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-bionic.git/commit/fs/ext4?h=master-next&id=ccdac72d6710c960ea6a194b46d65f73a37bb8ab

       

      Since it is security related and pretty isolated, I imagine the other distros will eventually cherry-pick it as well (I haven't checked the other distros yet).

      The upstream commit is 3ba733f879c2a88910744647e41edeefbc0d92b2
