It is already fixed, i.e. it applies cleanly against the existing
(i.e. 4.19.5) kernel. What I meant is that, there is little or no
point in applying a short-lived patch as there is no conceivable
reason that it can become a long-lived one.

Whatever else may have changed (all for the better of course) in the
past 20 years in Linux kernel development, I presume the basic
fundamental fact that no patch is accepted if the relevant maintainer
has objections to it is still intact. And I am both the author and the
maintainer of the BFS filesystem.

Kind regards,
Tigran
