non-cifs change post 5.18-rc4 causing buildbot regressions

[Steve French]

Noticed various xfstests failing (see e.g.
http://smb3-test-rhel-75.southcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com/#/builders/11/builds/220)
in 5.18-rc7 but not in 5.18-rc4.   Anyone else noticing this?  No
cifs.ko changes during this time period so could be unrelated to
cifs.ko (e.g. mm or VFS change)

Thanks,

Steve

I haven't noticed this.
Have you tried bisecting it?
If it is outside of the cifs module then it means a full kernel
recompile every time and that will be painful.

Maybe we should have a separate buildbot machine that we set up and
use only for bisecting.
We could set it up very similar to the current buildbot but then have
it semi-automatically try to bisect a kernel to find the
offending patch.
