| BenC | Ok, The weekly Kernel Team meeting is now in session...agenda, as usual, is at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Meeting | 17:16 |
| BenC | Let's run down the team, see what's going on | 17:17 |
| BenC | amitk: You're up first, how's things? | 17:17 |
| amitk | doing ok | 17:17 |
| amitk | A bunch of mobile updates for graphics drivers, dma, etc. coming up next week | 17:18 |
| BenC | amitk: going into hardy kernel? | 17:18 |
| amitk | I won't have a lot of time to do bug fixing this week | 17:18 |
| amitk | BenC: yes | 17:19 |
| BenC | Ok | 17:19 |
| BenC | amitk: This is all for lpia, I assume | 17:19 |
| amitk | yes. Everything going in is restricted to LPIA | 17:20 |
| amitk | it won't affect other flavours | 17:20 |
| BenC | good, so no need to worry much about code freezes for the rest of the dist | 17:20 |
| maks_ | BenC: can i please remind you on an initramfs-tools sync | 17:20 |
| BenC | maks_: best thing is to email me, if you could please | 17:21 |
| BenC | my inbox acts as a todo list :) | 17:21 |
| rtg | also copy kernel-team mailing list. | 17:21 |
| maks_ | which email BenC ? | 17:21 |
| BenC | bcollins@ubuntu.com, kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com | 17:21 |
| maks_ | cool | 17:21 |
| BenC | amitk: Thanks | 17:22 |
| BenC | rtg: How's the kernel looking right now for next milestone? | 17:22 |
| rtg | amitk is packaging the -8 ABI, which is based on 2.6.24.2 | 17:22 |
| rtg | there are a couple pof critical crashes that I need to look at as soon as its uploaded. | 17:22 |
| rtg | would also like to review some of the wireless issues. | 17:23 |
| rtg | otherwise, I think its looking OK | 17:23 |
| amitk | -8 will include the fixes for the vmsplice CVEs | 17:23 |
| rtg | yep | 17:23 |
| BenC | This will be the Alpha 5 kernel, right? | 17:24 |
| rtg | oh, and there are some possible IDE issues. | 17:24 |
| BenC | what happened there? | 17:24 |
| rtg | yes - it should be the A5 kernel. | 17:24 |
| rtg | Ng complained that his laptop wnet fropm sda back to hda. | 17:24 |
| BenC | you mean issues like regressions caused by the -8 kernel, or things that were already there? | 17:25 |
| rtg | someting in the -7 kernel. | 17:25 |
| BenC | Did someone dork around with the via IDE/PATA driver? | 17:25 |
| rtg | there is one commit that enables more IDE devices. perhaps that one? | 17:25 |
| BenC | yeah, sounds like it | 17:25 |
| rtg | I'll get you to reveiew it with me later. | 17:25 |
| BenC | we don't want to enable IDE drivers where we already have a libata-pata one | 17:25 |
| rtg | you are the expert there. | 17:26 |
| amitk | BenC: can initramfs enforce an order in which modules are tried? | 17:26 |
| BenC | Need to watch out when we mess with that sort of config change...could really screw up someone's system | 17:26 |
| amitk | ata_piix before ide_disk, for example? | 17:26 |
| BenC | amitk: only by blacklisting | 17:26 |
| amitk | BenC: unfortunate | 17:27 |
| * BenC pimps the udev device/driver binding paradigm, and moves on | 17:28 | |
| BenC | rtg: Ok, thanks | 17:29 |
| BenC | smb: how's things coming along for you? | 17:29 |
| smb | So far, I work on several bugs. Most of them currently require more input or looking into them | 17:30 |
| smb | Did the tp_smapi addittion to lum last week | 17:30 |
| BenC | smb: Since you are a few weeks into things now, how are you finding the work flow and documentation? | 17:31 |
| smb | Generally, there are a few bugs in the crried forward section that have fixes either only in the -mm tree or not ready yet. Is it ok to leave them triaged there or can we park them | 17:31 |
| smb | Well, as most of us, I find Leann's buglist most usefult. | 17:32 |
| BenC | smb: if there's no chance of us fixing them, then marking them WontFix is proper | 17:32 |
| BenC | smb: it will get it out of limbo so we can move on to more important things | 17:32 |
| ogasawara | smb: if you want to keep an eye on them, feel free to reassign to canonical-qa and I'll track them | 17:33 |
| rtg | smb: if there isn't an upstream fix by now, then its unlikely to happen in timew. | 17:33 |
| smb | ogasawara: Yes, I guess we did that for one and I keep an eye on the upstream report | 17:34 |
| BenC | The only time that isn't the case is where it's a critical bug/regression that we should put some effort into | 17:34 |
| rtg | like an oops. | 17:34 |
| BenC | well, and oops that isn't in something like netatalk :) | 17:35 |
| rtg | right. an oops in something interesting. | 17:35 |
| BenC | smb: Alright, thanks | 17:35 |
| BenC | king_: And fresh from your first week with us, how are things coming along? | 17:36 |
| king_ | Ok thanks - I believe I'm up to speed .. with help I've got some code now into the repository! | 17:37 |
| king_ | I've been looking at several bugs... | 17:37 |
| king_ | Some look a bit more open ended than others. | 17:37 |
| king_ | I've put a patch in for the macbook 3.1 track pad | 17:38 |
| king_ | And I've been trying to understand why the /proc/acpi/alarm is missing for the x86_64 | 17:38 |
| BenC | That reminds me, we should probably revert back to sending patches to kernel-team for double-ack before commit like we used to | 17:39 |
| king_ | I need to know how to this then. | 17:39 |
| BenC | This predates both you and smb, so I'll give it a quick once over | 17:40 |
| king_ | Ok. | 17:40 |
| maks_ | baah kernel-team is a subscriber list | 17:40 |
| smb | ok | 17:40 |
| king_ | ok. | 17:40 |
| BenC | Any patches that we commit (this pertains mostly to the kernel), would be sent to kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com | 17:40 |
| BenC | before they are committed | 17:41 |
| BenC | at least two people on the team have to ACK the patch before it can be committed...assuming a kernel team person submits the patch, that means one ACK from a team member | 17:41 |
| smb | or pushed. we could commit locally to get a git-format-patch version | 17:41 |
| king_ | This would be a good way of catching any dubious commits by newbies :-) | 17:42 |
| BenC | yeah, it's all about checks and balances :) | 17:42 |
| rtg | except its not a democracy. | 17:43 |
| * BenC puts on the iron fist | 17:43 | |
| BenC | seriously, I'm more inclined to just put in my 2 cents where needed and let you guys make the final decision | 17:43 |
| king_ | I'd appreciate it.. if it does not slow down workflow.. | 17:44 |
| BenC | it seemed to work well before, but we stopped doing it since we only had 3 of us on the team, which did slow things down | 17:44 |
| BenC | with 5 of us, the ACK turn around should be quick, especially if you ping everyone when it's important | 17:45 |
| rtg | I try to stay on top of kernel-team submissions. | 17:45 |
| BenC | king_: ok, thanks | 17:46 |
| BenC | Moving on to QA bug list | 17:46 |
| BenC | I haven't had a chance to look at it today...is there anything serious going on there? | 17:46 |
| rtg | Bug #189224 is interesting | 17:47 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 189224 in linux "sunrpc causes kernel oopses on 2.6.24-5-generic" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/189224 | 17:47 |
| BenC | The carried forward section is still growing | 17:47 |
| smb | Which might be cpuidle | 17:47 |
| ogasawara | also mathiaz reported Bug #185303 | 17:47 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 185303 in linux "Kernel Oops - unable to handle kernel paging request - Hardy server i386 alpha3/alpha4 install on HP Proliant ML350 fails" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/185303 | 17:47 |
| BenC | And there's still a lot unassigned bugs | 17:47 |
| Kano | rtg: btw. sent a mail... | 17:48 |
| smb | For example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/152187 is something that is assigned to qa and the fix wont happen too soon | 17:49 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 152187 in linux "Serial Wacom tablet fails to return from ACPI suspend to RAM" [Unknown,In progress] | 17:49 |
| rtg | I should have a bit more time to work on bugs. The CVE flurry seems to have settled. | 17:49 |
| ogasawara | smb: I can move the qa assigned bugs off the list and track them separately | 17:50 |
| BenC | 189224 looks pretty damn serious | 17:50 |
| rtg | Benyup | 17:50 |
| smb | ogasawara: I think that would be good. Since this issue has to wait for the upstream fix | 17:51 |
| rtg | BenC: yup, even. | 17:51 |
| BenC | rtg: 185303 appears very similar to a vendor issue we had | 17:51 |
| rtg | its got some interesting wrinkles. amd64 works, i386 doesn't | 17:52 |
| BenC | bios related | 17:52 |
| BenC | although that one was fixed by a bios update...so maybe we need to track the actual problem | 17:52 |
| BenC | it's a regression either way | 17:52 |
| rtg | I think Mathiaz has checked for BIOS updates. I'll confirm. | 17:53 |
| rtg | He showed me this one at sprint. | 17:53 |
| BenC | Let's make a point to get this carried over list knocked out some how | 17:53 |
| BenC | those two bugs mentioned should get some priority (especially the cpuidle one) | 17:54 |
| smb | Ok, I try to dig further there | 17:54 |
| rtg | smb: get him a 2.6.24.2 based kernel. | 17:54 |
| BenC | the pci bios seems like it should be easy to debug | 17:55 |
| rtg | except for the fact that it chunders inside the BIOS. | 17:55 |
| smb | rtg: right. I read something related that vanished later | 17:55 |
| BenC | Alright... | 17:58 |
| BenC | abogani: ping | 17:58 |
| abogani | BenC: pong | 17:58 |
| abogani | Ok the thing is off-topic in this moment but I prefer clarify this point in time for next release. | 17:58 |
| abogani | Is it possibility to ship -rt kernel flavour in main in hardy+1? | 17:58 |
| abogani | There isn't CVE or Secunia advisory. It have the same local exploit of the -generic one. | 17:58 |
| abogani | Obviously i don't want merge -rt code into main git tree but is sufficient maintain it to a separate patchset (as usual) and release it through main repos. | 17:58 |
| abogani | Noteworthy is that 2.6.25 will merge other fundamental pieces from -rt patchset via Molnar's git tree (http://kerneltrap.org/node/15345). | 17:59 |
| abogani | Thus why we can't raise -rt to main? what i can do to achieve this goal (for hardy+1)? | 17:59 |
| BenC | abogani: this is something we'll need to discuss in detail at UDS | 17:59 |
| BenC | abogani: are you on the sponsored list? | 18:00 |
| abogani | Mhhh sponsored list? I don't know nothing about it... Thus I suppose no. | 18:01 |
| BenC | abogani: email me some notes and I'll see if we can work some way for you to be at either FOSSCamp or UDS to plead your case in person :) | 18:01 |
| abogani | BenC: Ok. Thanks a lot. | 18:01 |
| BenC | at the very least, creating a blueprint on launchpad targetted for hardy+1 is a great start | 18:01 |
| abogani | specifically for main inclusion? | 18:02 |
| BenC | yeah | 18:02 |
| abogani | Ok. | 18:02 |
| BenC | Ok, that ends the actual agenda | 18:03 |
| BenC | Any open items for discussion? | 18:03 |
| BenC | I'll take that as a no, and call the meeting to a close | 18:04 |
| BenC | Thanks every one! | 18:04 |
| tjaalton | well, there are some DRM changes in 2.6.25-rc1 that would be nice to have, like ba8bbcf6ff4650712f64c0ef61139c73898e2165 | 18:08 |

| mjg59 | ? | 22:47 |
| Kano | tell me what you think the problem is | 22:47 |
| mjg59 | The x86 emulation is bugged in some way | 22:47 |
| Kano | in usplash? | 22:48 |
| mjg59 | Yes | 22:49 |
| mjg59 | Well, in libx86 | 22:49 |
| Kano | interesting that it works on some systems... | 22:49 |
| mjg59 | Depends on the video BIOS | 22:50 |
| Kano | usually static vesafb is working everywhere... | 22:51 |
| mjg59 | We can't use vesafb by default | 22:52 |
| Kano | vga=0 would disable it | 22:52 |
| mjg59 | The default would have to be disabled | 22:53 |
| Kano | at least enabling is then easy | 22:53 |
| mjg59 | It will already be handled properly | 22:54 |
| Kano | i really doubt that | 22:54 |
| tjaalton | mjg59: the buglist for xserver-xorg-video-nv has many potential testers for you ;) | 22:55 |
| mjg59 | Kano: Check /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/framebuffer | 22:56 |
| mjg59 | tjaalton: Why on earth are they filed against the X driver? | 22:56 |
| Kano | mjg59: why dont you make fbcon static, it is modprobed anyway? | 22:58 |
| mjg59 | Kano: So it's not loaded if the user doesn't ask for it | 22:58 |
| Kano | also the splash check is suboptimal | 22:59 |
| mjg59 | ? | 22:59 |
| tjaalton | mjg59: lack of better knowledge perhaps | 23:00 |
| Kano | when you use splashy you have a splash option,but you need vesafb | 23:00 |
| Kano | splash*) | 23:00 |
| Kano | FB="vga16fb"; | 23:00 |
| mjg59 | Which version are you looking at? | 23:00 |
| mjg59 | That's not in the current code | 23:00 |
| Kano | etch | 23:00 |
| mjg59 | Well, blame Debian | 23:00 |
| Kano | well will fetch u initramfs | 23:01 |
| Kano | the modprobe does not work | 23:03 |
| Kano | on my system | 23:04 |
| Kano | definitely not | 23:04 |
| mjg59 | Working out why would be helpful | 23:04 |
| mjg59 | Since it works here | 23:04 |
| Kano | well i can not send you my gfx card | 23:04 |
| mjg59 | If the modprobe is failing, the graphics card is irrelevant | 23:04 |
| Kano | well sid + ubuntu are similar in that file btw | 23:06 |
| * mjg59 shrugs | 23:06 | |
| Kano | just that u does not check for while read fbno desc; do if [ $(($fbno < 32)) ]; then before mknod /dev/fb${fbno} c 29 ${fbno} | 23:07 |
| Kano | and u uses -Qb | 23:08 |
| Kano | option to modprobe | 23:08 |
| Kano | interestingly i can use onboard vga too and get the same problem... | 23:12 |
| Kano | http://www.gigabyte.co.nz/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2535 | 23:13 |
| Kano | this board | 23:13 |
| Kano | mjg59: the thing is: after boot vesafb is never loaded, only fbcon | 23:57 |
