With the following two patches applied on master branch, Lustre client build passed on RHEL 8.1 with kernel 4.18.0-147.0.3.el8_1 via lbuild:
https://review.whamcloud.com/36946 (LU-12637)
https://review.whamcloud.com/36557 (LU-12899)

I'm going to do a basic testing on RHEL 8.1 client with RHEL 7.7 server on master branch.
