In a filesystem session at the
2022 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-management and BPF Summit (LSFMM), Amir Goldstein
led a discussion about the stable kernel trees. Those trees, and
especially the long-term support (LTS) versions, are used as a basis for a
variety of Linux-based products, but the kind of testing that is being done
on them for filesystems is lacking. Part of the problem is that the tests
target filesystem developers so they are not easily used by downstream
consumers of the stable kernel trees.
