Thanks for the patch. Christian has actually already sent a patch for
this along with another patch which is still under review:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2019-July/102449.html

Also note that currently shiftfs is only in Ubuntu distro kernels, and
Ubuntu-specific kernel patches should be directed at
kernel-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx rather than lkml. If you'll be at LPC,
there's a session to discuss the future of upstreaming shiftfs that you
might find interesting.

Thanks!
Seth
