[Test Case] * Comment #12 has the full final testcase, not writing all that up here again. [Regression Potential] * It is a change of disk processing in the slof loader for ppc64el - that means on one hand only ppc64el will be affected by an issue - OTOH there might be a disk combination not part of my or upstreams or IBMs testing that might now fail with the new code (unlikely) - Given that the change is upstream and was provided by IBM which I consider the authority on that code I think it is safe to be considered.
