So, if some flag should be implemented, who should do it? :)
I'll not do it for you. ;)

Richard,
Considering the facts that:
1. I proposed the said flag and Al didn't think it was needed [1]
2. ext4 already sets s_uuid without any flag for a long time now
3. A similar patch was queued for v4.12 to set s_uuid for xfs without any flag
I think it would be right to take Oleksij's patch as is.
FYI, my current work on 'constant inode numbers for overlayfs' requires that
underlying filesystem had set a non-zero s_uuid. Not sure if that matters for
ubifs+overlayfs users.
If VFS maintainers are fine with that, I'll take it.
From UBIFS' POV it does not matter much. :-)
Ping to VFS maintainers?
