1. upstream status/merge plans (trond, bfields) - 2.6.34-rc5 - server: merged one 2.6.34 bugfix, some more bugfixes/cleanup for 2.6.35, no new features merged. - client: bunch of bugfixes: - writeback code fixes: - race with commit - nfs_setup_writeback BUG_ON() - other than that, misc. NULL/ERR-mixups. - Andy notes he's been seeing bigfile blocked for >= 30 seconds; Trond says that's probably due to the commit race above. 2. State of pNFS tree (bhalevy) - forwarded-ported to -rc5, released a few minutes ago. Passes cthon cleanly (thanks to commit race fix). - merged some other patches. 3. Mailing list change - consolidated pnfs and nfsv4 lists to linux-nfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - kernel.org appears to be having trouble; bfields will investigate. 4. Client 4.1. Client pNFS status - Andros sent a bunch of patches that remove non-file-layout stuff from initial submission and add it back in later (but using the generic deviceid cache); latter needs review from object and block developers. 4.2. Client state management design documentation (trond) - nothing to report 5. Server 5.1. Todo's for minimal 4.1 server (bfields) http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues - made some updates; things I'm working on are marked. (Note to self: needs some more updates. Also, I'll need to start moving "done" things into "needs testing" category. - testing problems: - will probably need pynfs tests to go with server 4.1 changes. - 4.1 pynfs doesn't handle DELAY errors, so they fail immediately against current server. Fred will check if it's easily fixed. I will also make Neil's deferral fix a higher priority to remove need for so many DELAY's. 5.2. pnfs - Sorin notes he's been able to get block server up and running (not bug-free, but it does some IO at least). Hasn't worked out why Jiri Kortus isn't getting that far. 6. Red Hat status - Steve will update to latest tag. - note to Steve: make sure avoiding commit race. rc1-rc4-based code had it, latest -rc5 tag should be OK. Not sure about 2.6.33-based code. - Documentation: - Steve is finding documentation of pnfs setup hard to find. He will work on tracking down docs and reorganizing wiki. - Andy will help Steve with GFS2 setup docs. - Sorin & co. should be able to help with block setup docs. - Steved eventually wants to do more 4.1 testing. - Boaz asked for some pointers on how to get started building rpm's, so he can distribute exofs utilities. Steved will help. 7. bakeathon plans - Summer in Ann Arbor - Fall in Boston?: - deciding on date. 8. Next meeting: - Same time, some place; Marc will be out, so Dean will host. --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
