I have never pushed it to any mailing list or blessed it for release. Yes it has a known problem that I never bothered to fix. I carry it in my own development trees so I can run xor.ko on UML. If it has leaked to any upstream trees, I'm so sorry tell me where you found it and I'll have it removed. I can see below: Merge 'open-osd/exofs_ioctl' into devel-hourly-2013101007 What is devel-hourly and what does exofs_ioctl branch useful for. exofs_ioctl is for NFS-Ganesha pnfs support. It is not good for any other purpose. If you are developing NFS-Ganesha pnfs code feel free to remove this patch, again it is so I can run exofs on UML which uses xor.ko. If you use VMs or HW you do not have this problem.
