[14:59:57] wiesand joins the room
[15:00:17] <wiesand> hello
[15:01:04] <wiesand> o…o…o…
[15:01:30] mvita joins the room
[15:01:41] <mvita> yaaas
[15:02:09] <wiesand> hi mark
[15:02:48] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> greetings
[15:03:00] <wiesand> hello ben
[15:03:07] <mvita> Mike is not expected this morning.
[15:03:17] <wiesand> ok, thanks
[15:03:52] <wiesand> so, I just merged the last two changes for 1.8.4pre2 as discussed so far
[15:03:55] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> The RT ticket that I couldn't look up last time is [rt.central.org
#135006] problems with bosserver and Solaris 11.4; Roland helpfully
sent a reply to it to remind me
[15:04:59] <wiesand> since it's not yet tagged, there's still a chance to sneak in some late additional change - any desires?
[15:05:41] <mvita> there's one that's not merged on master yet, so I think it won't make it
[15:05:46] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> which one?
[15:05:47] <mvita> looking…
[15:06:29] <mvita> I know it's andrew's
[15:07:18] <mvita> sorry, it's escaping me right now - we talked about it yesterday
[15:07:35] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Was it the InvalidateAllSegments thing that I just merged?
[15:08:14] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Or the parallel build fix to pass -shared when linking some shared
libraries?
[15:08:27] <mvita> that's it
[15:08:28] <mvita> thanks
[15:08:41] <mvita> that's why I can't find it - invalidateallsegments
[15:08:45] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> :)
[15:08:56] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> I figured I'd mention it just in case that's why you couldn't find it
[15:09:19] <mvita> he was hoping that could get into 1.8.4 mumble
[15:09:51] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> It depends on a few other changes, though, to get the background-op
infrastructure ready?
[15:09:51] <wiesand> at first glance this looks pretty invasive for a pre2…
[15:12:03] <mvita> I haven't looked at it myself - Mike asked me to review it yesterday (before Ben merged it) but I didn't get to it
[15:13:15] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> I looked at it pretty carefully before merging to master, but I'm
still on the fence about whether it makes sense to sneak into a pre2
[15:13:32] <mvita> fair enough
[15:14:47] <wiesand> I'd rather defer this to 1.8.5pre1
[15:14:53] meffie joins the room
[15:15:32] <mvita> d'accord
[15:15:41] <meffie> (sorry for tardiness)
[15:16:12] <wiesand> but I put it on the wish list
[15:16:17] <mvita> thanks
[15:16:46] <wiesand> thank you
[15:17:48] <wiesand> so, if there's nothing else, I'd ask Ben for the tag and start working on getting 1.8.4pre2 out
[15:19:36] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Er, does that mean you are not yet ready for the tag?
[15:20:23] <wiesand> Now that three minutes have passed w/o anyone bringing up anything, I am
[15:20:41] <mvita> heh
[15:20:56] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> :)
[15:21:27] <wiesand> So, please tag 9fa11cd961e283234ea351085cf45a24182db81f as openafs-stable-1_8_4pre2
[15:22:27] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> done
[15:22:54] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> You saw the note from Stephen Joyce about pre1 already?
My copy landed in spam quarantine
[15:23:53] <wiesand> Yes, saw it :-(
[15:24:15] <mvita> saw it, haven't dug into it
[15:25:26] <wiesand> auristor implemented a band aid "rehashing a dentry when needed" - could we do something like this too?
[15:26:32] <mvita> I don't know. Are they contributing the code?
[15:26:57] <wiesand> while we could ask, I doubt it ;-)
[15:27:07] <wiesand> that info is from the release notes
[15:27:22] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> I'm not even entirely sure what it means, just from that description
[15:27:32] <mvita> me either
[15:27:54] <mvita> but maybe it will become clearer upon investigation
[15:30:07] <wiesand> at least what we have in 1.8.4 seems to help a bit
[15:30:37] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Indeed.
[15:31:07] <wiesand> will bumping up -stat make these problems less frequent?
[15:31:46] <mvita> sorry, I don't know without looking into it in detail
[15:33:57] <wiesand> ok, I'll make tarballs etc. now - want ot go on with 1.9/master?
[15:34:22] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Not a whole lot of news on master; this week was not so good for me
[15:34:37] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> But I merged a few small things, at least
[15:35:12] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> I did wonder if any of our Solaris-friendly folks wanted to take a
peek at that RT ticket I mentioned at the start of the meeting
[15:36:36] <mvita> oh, I started to look and then got distracted
[15:36:44] <mvita> looking now
[15:36:51] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> The most likely candidate I can think of is lwp stack misalignment,
but from our experiences on (e.g.) freebsd that tends to kill
everything right away, and not just sometimes
[15:37:35] <mvita> ah, sparc
[15:37:43] <mvita> that rules out some stuff
[15:37:46] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> The best kind of Solaris!
[15:38:10] <mvita> I can try to dup this on our sparc box
[15:38:34] <mvita> I have a sparc here in my office, but it's too old for 11.4
[15:39:19] <mvita> yes, lwp context plumbing would be a good place to start
[15:39:23] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Thanks for taking a look
[15:40:29] <meffie> thank you mark.
[15:41:39] <mvita> oh, wait, this stack frame stuff in rxkad rings a bell
[15:41:49] <mvita> anyway, I'll look and reply in the ticket
[15:42:03] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> sounds good
[15:43:28] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> I think I am running out of topics, other than the traditional
"anything high priority I should specifically look at?"
[15:44:33] <meffie> do i need to make any more updates to NEWS for 1.9.x?
[15:45:08] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> I think I should be able to take care of anything needed from here;
thank you again for doing the initial heavy lifting!
[15:46:11] <meffie> ok, great! thanks ben.
[15:48:42] <wiesand> after a last smoke test (building now) I'll upload 1.8.4pre2 and produce a web change - ETA ~2h
[15:49:04] <mvita> yay!
[15:49:35] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> yay!
[15:49:57] <wiesand> and once I got a +1 on that, I'll release and announce it
[15:51:15] <wiesand> But now I have to walk home and do some shopping on the way.
[15:51:24] <wiesand> Let's adjourn?
[15:51:34] <mvita> second
[15:51:38] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Important things!
Sure, let's adjourn
[15:52:02] <meffie> thank you, have a good week end.
[15:52:04] <wiesand> Great. Thanks a lot everybody!
[15:52:47] wiesand leaves the room
