Public bug reported:
[ Impact ]
* orphan_file ext4 feature is available in Jammy v5.15 GA kernel
* It is to be enabled by default in Mantic
* fsck utility in jammy doesn't support orphan_file feature
* as part of forwards-compatibility support it would be useful for Jammy 22.04
LTS to be able to fsck future releases (i.e. 23.10 / 24.04)
* as part of HWE support, users may opt-in and choose to use orphan_file in
Jammy today, when they do so they currently loose support to fsck a given
filesystem.
[ Test Plan ]
* Create new ext4 filesystem with GA version of e2fsprogs and with proposed one
* Ensure that default feature set enabled is the same (i.e. orphan_file &
metadata_csum features are OFF)
* Ensure that either fsck can fsck both filesystems
* Use tune2fs to enable orphan_file feature
* Ensure that new fsck can check such a filesystem, and that GA (v5.15) kernel
can mount it
* do test rebuilds of reverse-build-depends of e2fsprogs to verify to
change of API and ABI, none should FTBFS and none should gain any new
dependencies on the 1.47 symbols
[ Where problems could occur ]
* library api/abi changes:
struct ext2_super_block size is unchanged, s_orphan_file_inum consumes
one of the s_reserved fields.
orphan_file related public APIs are added.
* default features:
Ensure that config files are unchanged, to ensure that no new features
are enabled by default, meaning filesystems created with the upgraded
e2fsprogs in a given Ubuntu release will keep the same feature level.
[ Other Info ]
* Anything else you think is useful to include
* Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the
Technical Board
* and address these questions in advance
