[12:44:24] meffie joins the room
[12:45:00] <meffie> morning. happy belated solstice.
[12:45:15] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> morning
[13:00:28] mvita joins the room
[13:00:42] <mvita> hello
[13:00:43] wiesand joins the room
[13:00:55] <wiesand> Hello
[13:01:27] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> 'allo
[13:01:52] <wiesand> Are you in Paris again?
[13:02:26] <wiesand> I don't have much of an agenda today.
[13:02:40] <wiesand> Linux-next is a problem?
[13:03:04] <mvita> so far
[13:03:07] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Je ne suis pas a Paris
[13:03:23] <mvita> mai pourquoi pas?
[13:03:29] <mvita> mais
[13:04:14] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> c'est un grand dommage
[13:04:33] <mvita> bien sur, dommage
[13:04:41] <wiesand> Mike, you said Joe is talking to the Linux folks?
[13:04:46] <mvita> Linux has two problems we know of at the moment
[13:05:30] <meffie> yes he has
[13:05:31] <mvita> 1) a GPL-only symbol is being picked up - Joe is corresponding and a solution is on the way (or so has been reported)
[13:05:34] <wiesand> one is addressed by 13062?
[13:05:46] <mvita> the solution is not yet in linux-next or linux mainline
[13:06:25] <mvita> 13062, no
[13:06:33] <wiesand> is it a new symbol or was it changed to GPL-only?
[13:07:10] <mvita> a new symbol that is now "seen" by us when using a formerly non-GPL API put_page
[13:07:41] <mvita> like I said, this was an inadvertent result of a change in Linux and I believe it will be fixed by LInux
[13:07:53] <mvita> we (OpenAFS ) can do nothing about it.
[13:07:55] <wiesand> glad to hear that
[13:08:36] <mvita> 2) the VFS layer conversion to 64-bit timestamps (y2038) is finally here
[13:08:43] <mvita> OpenAFS will need changes to conform
[13:08:54] <mvita> the scope is unknown at this point
[13:09:03] <mvita> Joe is looking into that
[13:09:03] <wiesand> ouch
[13:09:04] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Ooh, y2038 compliance
[13:09:47] <mvita> I'm hoping that they provided shims to allow mere tolerance for now, not full compliance
[13:10:12] <mvita> that's what will determine our scope
[13:10:18] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Questionably likely, given the mindset of "everything that matters is
in-tree; let's just convert it all at once"
[13:10:46] <mvita> well, I'm not sure the tree itself is there yet
[13:11:13] <mvita> this has been coming since at least 4.15, maybe earlier
[13:11:25] <mvita> I don't have my notes in front of me right now
[13:11:36] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Ah.
[13:12:01] <mvita> no, they started staging way back in 4.6
[13:13:22] <meffie> (brb)
[13:14:38] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Is it time to move on to 1.8?
[13:14:51] <mvita> I'm done w/ Linux
[13:15:13] <wiesand> yes, go ahead
[13:16:12] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> It doesn't look like anyone pushed a fix for the getdslot-eintr
locking issue (to master), and I think we're otherwise ready to push
the button for pre1
[13:16:35] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> which would mean going with the revert for 1.8.1 and bringing it back
with the proper fix for 1.8.2
[13:16:51] <meffie> (back)
[13:16:54] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> I see Mike reviewed the version number change, thanks!
[13:16:59] <wiesand> Andrew commented that no fix is needed…
[13:17:08] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Oh, I missed that, apparently.
[13:17:28] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> More eyes on the NEWS change would probably be good, though (13224)
[13:17:50] <meffie> still reading NEWS...
[13:18:12] <wiesand> I may have some time later today. Sorry for not having been productive this week.
[13:18:17] <meffie> the new arm64 support is exciting
[13:18:36] <wiesand> yes
[13:18:38] <mvita> I got sucked into a number of things as well
[13:19:03] <meffie> it's cool to see some new things and not just bug fixes :)
[13:19:16] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Yeah :)
[13:22:34] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> I'm not sure that I believe Andrew about the glock being used for
afs_discardDCList, though, at least not yet
[13:23:09] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> So  I will try to look at that more
[13:23:30] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> But I don't think there's much else to say about 1.8 specifically
[13:23:57] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> I've tried to look at some changes on master as well, though it's been
a little hard to keep up with all the cleanup Pat has been sending our
way :)
[13:26:01] <wiesand> right
[13:27:14] <wiesand> OT: 13223 could use some more review
[13:28:30] <meffie> i got to get back to pat review.
[13:28:50] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> It's good to see that Pat's stuff is still getting reviews (fron
not-me), though -- keep it coming!
[13:29:08] <meffie> yeah, it's good stuff.
[13:29:52] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> I don't know that I have much else to say about master -- anyone want
to call attention to anything in particular?
[13:31:26] <mvita> nothing from me
[13:33:51] <meffie> i have nothing.
[13:35:16] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Should we call it early, then?  review review review?
[13:35:27] <mvita> review, review, review
[13:36:11] <meffie> also, fix stuff that was reviewed :)
[13:36:25] <mvita> :-P
[13:36:41] <wiesand> review review review
[13:36:45] <meffie> i've got some fixes for some of my gerrits i need to finish testing.
[13:37:16] <wiesand> looks like I'll sign the contract next monday btw
[13:37:40] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Yay!
[13:37:53] <meffie> woot. time for a house warming party?
[13:38:36] <wiesand> with our recent climate, a house cooling party would be better
[13:39:00] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> ha!
[13:39:24] <wiesand> the first change I'll make is having an air condition installed
[13:40:10] <wiesand> Shall we call it meeting then?
[13:40:20] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Sounds like a plan.
[13:40:23] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Thanks everybody!
[13:40:34] <mvita> bye
[13:40:35] <wiesand> Thanks everybody!
