To my surprise, there is a huge difference between tree at

driver in kernel.org.
Many subsystems of luster driver like -
liblustre,
lfsck,
mdd,
qouta etc.
What can be the reason for this?
Are we maintaining an incomplete driver in the kernel.org staging tree?
This is because this other lustre tree contains not just the client,
but also the server code (Which is also kernel space, but
quite a bit more involved in it's operations). It's also lagging behind
main kernel development for that reason.
That tree also contains our test scripts, lustre tools and such that don't
really belong to the kernel tree.
But the client in the staging area is frozen in the version and features
at a set point in time, so that it could be cleaned up into shape first.
We are feeding fixes and cleanups into it as the results and were asked not
to add any new features.
