Hi all,
So vboxsf has finally landed upstream. I gave up getting it merged directly under fs/vboxsf since despite some fs-devel folks saying that it was as good as it is going to get (given the limitations of the API exposed by the host) it seems that the fs subsys maintainers did not have the time to take a look at it.
So I've send it to GKH for merging under drivers/staging instead and somewhat to my surprise (not complaining) he send it in for this cycle.
Since this upstream now; and despite being in staging has alread seen multiple reviews, I would like to get this enabled for the Fedora 5.4 kernels so that shared-folders will just work for users running Fedora as a VirtualBox guest.
So unless there are any objections I'm going to flip the configs/fedora/generic/CONFIG_VBOXSF_FS file to m and enable this in rawhide soon.
Regards,
Hans

Apart from the fact it's already been enabled by Jeremy? :-P

I guess you can put me in the "no objections" camp.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. It was just pulled by Linus. I am guessing 5.5 now.

Yes I was about to say the same thing... <sigh>
I'm afraid that it seems that the fs subsystem processes are somewhat dysfunctional atm, which is why I went with staging. Maybe I can get it in fs proper for 5.5, we will see.

It has been excepted directly under fs/vboxsf by Al Viro now and it is in -next as such, see e.g.:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/fs/K...
It is not entirely clear to me if it will make it into 5.6 or if this is 5.7 stuff, definitely not 5.5.
But since this is completely isolated code, we can easily drop it into the Fedora 5.5 kernels once it is upstream, assuming it makes 5.6-rc1 and assuming that the Fedora kernel maintainers are ok with carying at as a (single patch) downstream patch for 1 kernel cycle.
I'm not sure which kernel Fedora 32 will target, assuming it will target 5.6 (which seems likely) then for the OOTB livecd experience there is little to gain from adding the patch to the Fedora 5.5 kernels, OTOH for people installing F31, this will enable shared folder functionality by just doing a "dnf update" which would be nice.
Sérgio, do you have a preference whether we should backport to 5.5 or not ?

Hans
