Re: Aarch64 EXT4FS inode checksum failures - seems to be weak memory ordering issues

Hi!

The gcc bugzilla mentions backports into gcc-linaro, but I do not see
them in my git history.

So, do we raise the minimum gcc version for the kernel as a whole to 5.1
or just for aarch64?

Russell, Arnd, thanks so much for tracking down the root cause of the
bug!

I will note that RHEL 7 uses gcc 4.8.  I personally don't have an
objections to requiring developers using RHEL 7 to have to install a
more modern gcc (since I use Debian Testing and gcc 10.2.1, myself,
and gcc 5.1 is so five years ago :-), but I could imagine that being
considered inconvenient for some.

I'm on gcc 4.9.2 on a machine that is hard to upgrade :-(.

Best regards,
								Pavel
