Richard,
Considering the facts that: 1. I proposed the said flag and Al didn't think it was needed [1] 2. ext4 already sets s_uuid without any flag for a long time now 3. A similar patch was queued for v4.12 to set s_uuid for xfs without any flag
I think it would be right to take Oleksij's patch as is.
FYI, my current work on 'constant inode numbers for overlayfs' requires that underlying filesystem had set a non-zero s_uuid. Not sure if that matters for ubifs+overlayfs users.
Amir.
