Is there any plan to back port the virtio-fs change set to linux kernel LTS versions?
We haven't explored that. Please let us know if there are any issues with backports. We may be able to help get them resolved.
As mentioned in the document, I tried a quick backport of the patches onto 4.19.27 (LTS), but it didn't apply smoothly. I tried to solve the conflicts, but in the end it was not building... Before we have someone spending some time on backporting anything, we need to make sure that we all agree on the kernel we want to use for this purpose. Stefan, thanks for proposing your help here, as I'm sure it'd be the best option if you, David or Vivek could do the backport once we took a decision about the kernel version, since you all know the patches better than anybody else. Thanks, Sebastien
