Also I'd like to hand off running and taking notes on this meeting to
someone else for a while. (Benny, maybe?) Or we can go back to making
the meeting more informal if that's preferred.
--b.
1. upstream status/merge plans (trond, bfields)
- upstream at 2.6.35-rc4.
- server side: some bugfixes merged to callback code; allocation
failures changed to return DELAY.
- discussion of error return on client callback-parsing error.
- trond: everything from before bakeathon is in nfs-2.6.36
branch or upstream. Also some file locking bugfixes
(bugzilla.kernel.org #14501). Also sending release_lockowner
more often to keep server resources down.
2. State of pNFS tree (bhalevy)
- working on patches from boaz and andy for release branch.
Anyone else have big pending patchsets?
- Jim is getting complex-volume block patches tested,
will send them out soon.
- Fred has some pending stuff ("minor cleanup")
- next week would like to start cleaning up and squashing
together patches. Also will truncate some of the history.
3. Client
3.1. Client pNFS status
- Andy needs to look at state reclaim stuff?
- Andy still wondering what to do with the nfs inode
layout pointer. What's the lifetime of the thing that
points to?
3.2. Client state management design documentation (trond)
- Also, on docs: Andy will check that wiki docs are
uptodate. And will do some more documentation of
refcnts, as will Fred.
4. Server
4.1. Todo's for minimal 4.1 server (bfields)
- still working on callback changes. Trond notes
ongoing rpc code improvements may allow us to do much
of this by keeping a single client and modifying its
transports, in which case I may be able to replace my
callbacks with single rpc tasks.
- also fixing 4.0/4.1 bug that prevents exclusive locks
on upgraded open.
4.2. pnfs
- pnfs/gfs2
- I'll ask Eric for a report on gfs2 bakeathon
testing.
- exofs
- I'll ask Brian about citi exofs setup status.
5. boston bakeathon
- October 4-8.
- Details are finalized, to be posted soon.
- If your company will be bringing large equipment, let Sorin
know.
- If anyone would be interested in sponsoring a reception or
other addition to the bakeathon, contact Sorin. (Or if you
know who at your company would handle such a thing, let Sorin
know.)
6. new business
- Sorin asked Trond for summary of layout-commit discussion.
Discussion ensued.
7. next meeting
- next week as usual.
