Is dept1.18_on_v5.17-rc7 roughly equivalent to the v5 version sent to
the list.  The commit date is March 16th, so I assume it was.  I tried
merging it with the ext4 dev branch, and tried enabling CONFIG_DEPT
and running xfstests.  The result was nearly test failing, because a 
DEPT warning.

I assume that this is due to some misconfiguration of DEPT on my part?
And I'm curious why DEPT_WARN_ONCE is apparently getting many, many
times?

[  760.990409] DEPT_WARN_ONCE: Pool(ecxt) is empty.
[  770.319656] DEPT_WARN_ONCE: Pool(ecxt) is empty.
[  772.460360] DEPT_WARN_ONCE: Pool(ecxt) is empty.
[  784.039676] DEPT_WARN_ONCE: Pool(ecxt) is empty.

(and this goes on over and over...)

Here's the full output of the DEPT warning from trying to run
generic/001.  There is a similar warning for generic/002, generic/003,
etc., for a total of 468 failures out of 495 tests run.

Let me know what I should do in order to fix this DEPT_WARN_ONCE?
