# The files in this directory contain lists of subtests that should
# be excluded by older clients when running a particular test
# script. This allows older clients to skip tests that they would
# otherwise run from their local test script, but that do not work due
# to server changes.
#
# The files for each test script are read from the mds1 and ost1 facet
# nodes. The filename(s) under lustre/tests/except/ should start with
# the base test script name (e.g. sanity), followed by '.', an optional
# unique string to avoid conflicts between patches, and end with ".ex".
# Lines are handled in build_test_filter() to check subtests to exclude.

# linux < 5.12.0 LU-18102 27J
# ost1 == CLIENT_VERSION LU-13081 151 156
#
# The facet may be "client", "mds1", "ost1", or "linux" (client), and
# "need_version" can be any Lustre (or Linux) version number or another
# version name like OST1_VERSION, MDS1_VERSION, or CLIENT_VERSION.
#
# The version comparison is something like the below pseudo-code:
#
# (( ${FACET}_VERSION $op $need_version )) ||
# always_except $ticket $subtests
#
# In other words, the version check must be true or subtest(s) will
# not be run. Checks within a single file should be ordered by subtest
# number to make it easier to see whether some subtest is being skipped.
