[opensuse-kernel] Mainline submissions
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all - With 2.6.29 released last week, the maintenance window for 2.6.30 is open. While we eliminated a *lot* of patches between 2.6.27 and 2.6.29, we're still carrying around more than 350 patches. Some of them are needed for our build infrastructure and we'll be carrying those around forever. A lot of them are for things like Xen, swap over nfs, lttng, and perfmon. While I'd like those to go upstream, I'm not holding my breath. I see things like multipath extensions/fixes, driver fixes, acpi quirks, etc that should all definitely be upstream. So, please take a few minutes and check out which patches you own and can be submitted. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknRYK4ACgkQLPWxlyuTD7IJwACgop9HgnK6YsytioztbbRBiUvC eOQAnA4aO7lq1bjENvHFw2Gg31Imfhzi =tk1c -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

The perfmon patches will never get upstream as we have them in our tree. I would recommend to disable them for the next openSUSE. We can keep them in git for SLE12 ;) I'll update and work on the lttng patches for 11.2.

I'm fine keeping them in git as an old revision. If we want the patches back, we can go back and pull them out of it. Anyone have any objections to just killing them for 11.2? - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknUyo0ACgkQLPWxlyuTD7L5JwCgj3dBEFSJvMGoWD678P5fi6AP P40An28zDgxLZ+h30F4SgkbBPxY3g6e+ =5UrB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

Please kill them, they have been rejected by upstream, and we should have a different "solution" there hopefully by 11.2 thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

I believe removing those perfmon patches for 11.2 is the right approach; though it would be good to support the upstream perfmon work of course. As for LLTNG, shouldn't this also be focused upstream? Or is there any benefit of keeping these in our 11.2 kernels?

Well it is focused on upstream. I'll prepare the patches for a probably 11.2 based kernel. To gather feedback and real life testing I want to keep them in and enabled for the trace flavor.

perfmon upstream is dead, a totally different approach is being developed. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

Well, then I hope we are supporting that one? In the end, names or projects are not relevant, meeting user needs is. :-) Gerald -- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer E gp@novell.com SUSE Linux Products GmbH Director Product Management T +49(911)74053-0 HRB 16746 (AG Nuremberg) openSUSE/SUSE Linux Enterprise F +49(911)74053-483 GF: Markus Rex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
