Rawhide 3.3-rc1 rebase

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

I've rebased rawhide to the 3.3-rc1 release this afternoon.  Overall,
not too bad.  Aside from a kmemleak issue that prevented booted (patch
provided by Catalin already) and a lockdep spew from radeon it booted
fine on my machine.

There were a few patches we hit that I have questions on.  If you're in
CC, keep reading below.

Matthew, we're carrying revert-efi-rtclock.patch which reverts upstream
commit "x86: Serialize EFI time accesses on rtc_lock (ef68c8f87ed1)".
However, upstream doesn't have that reverted and I don't see anything in
particular that discusses a problem with it.  Should we still be
carrying this (I think yes) and why didn't upstream revert?

Also for Matthew, I left CONFIG_EFI_STUB turned off.  It wasn't clear to
me if this would make a kernel that would only boot as an EFI executable
or if it would do that while still being general purpose.  I'll look
into this more, but I thought you should weigh in before we switch that
on anyway.

Dave, block-stray-block-put-after-teardown.patch was added for a
supposed problem in the elevator stuff.  I've left it commented out of
the spec right now because upstream removed the ops member from the
elevator_queue struct entirely with commit 22f746e235a5cb.  Given they
directly access e->type.ops now, I'm not sure this is needed any longer?

Dennis, Jon, The arm configs are a WAG.  Also, arm-omap-dt-compat.patch
didn't apply cleanly so I dropped the application but left it in the
tree.  It would be really helpful if people were building/working with
rawhide first, then backporting to f15 or whatever ARM is using so that
we aren't left taking random guesses at what to do.

John L, I disabled with_backports like we discussed last week.  I'll let
you do your thing with compat-wireless when you find time.

Oleg, the utrace patch doesn't apply to 3.3 any longer.  I've left it
unapplied until someone gets a chance to rebase it.

For anyone else that might know... the GMA500 driver "moved" from
staging to drivers/video/drm/.  I say "moved" because the DRM_PSB thing
is still sitting in staging.  I'll look into this more Monday, but if
anyone knows offhand why we now have 2 drivers and which we should
enable, please do speak up.
