As far as I can see, the situation is improving with the patches. I can say that
patches have been tested and I am ready to pick up the patches into HFS/HFS+
tree.
Mehdi, should I expect the formal patches from you? Or should I take the patches
as it is?
I can send them from my part. Should I add signed-off-by tag at the end
appended to them?
If you are OK with the current commit message, then I can simply add your
signed-off-by tag on my side. If you would like to polish the commit message
somehow, then I can wait the patches from you. So, what is your decision?
I would like to send patches from my part as a v3. Mainly so that it's
more clear in the mailing list what has happened and maybe add a cover
letter to suggest that other filesystems could be affected too. If that
is not preferred, It's okay if you just add my signed-off-by tag. Commit
message for me seems descriptive enough as it is.
OK. Sounds good.
Also I wanted to ask 2 questions here:
1. Is adding the cc for stable here recommended so that this fix get
backported into older stable kernel?
I think it's good to have it.
Okay I will add it to both patches
2. Is it normal to have the Reported-by and Fixes tag for the hfsplus
patch even though the reported bug is for HFS? I guess it's under the
same of the discovered HFS bug so it references that?
So, we haven't syzbot report for the case of HFS+. However, you can consider me
as reporter of the potential issue for HFS+ case. And I assume that Fixes tag
should be different for the case of HFS+. Potentially, we could miss the Fixes
tag for the case of HFS+ if you don't know what should be used as Fixes tag
here.
I will make sure to adjust the patches's descriptions as you have
suggested and I will be sending them tonight or early next morning.
Thanks,
Slava.
