Frederick,
thanks for the patch list! 
It is nice to know the patch set(s) which is/are actually running in 
production. 
We are at zfs/spl 0.6.4.1 in production for the last six months with 2.5.3 last 
GA release (Sept'14).

Is tag 2.5.3.90 considered stable?
I was cautious to use 2.5.3.90 as there can be critical patches before final 
release.

There are not many differences between Intel's 2.5.3.90 and 2.5.3-llnl, if we 
disregard ldiskfs patches which we do not use. Until there are 'collateral' 
changes in the patch which are not reflected in commit message.
We did try 2.5.3-llnl build, it was working fine with 2.5.3 clients (or 1.8.9 
only). There were client crashes when we mounted both old 1.8.9 lustre and new 
lustre 2.5.3 on the same 1.8.9 client. We need that for transitional period as 
worker nodes need to access both 2.5 and 1.8 systems during migration. Last 
Intel's 2.5.3 GA release does not have this issue (+one stability patch).
We moved most of the data to the new system and reconfigured most oss/ost to 
new 2.5.3 lustre. No "in-place" conversions. Thus the issue of compatibility 
with 1.8.9 client will be not relevant when we complete migration and upgrade 
clients.

What client version shall we use with 2.5.3 servers?
2.5.3 is obvious. 
Reportedly 2.6 client has performance improvements. I build 2.7.0 client and 
rebalanced several TB with crc checks, seems OK. 
Is 2.7.0 stable? 
Shall we look on 2.8.0 client or it is too early?

Alex.
