| jibel | apw, it should. I'll check it. | 08:04 |
|---|---|---|
| jibel | apw, dkms tests are running with 3.12.0-1.3, but they didn't start automatically when the new kernel has been uploaded. I'll fix that. | 08:30 |
| smb | jibel, Don't expect him to answer any soon. He is in a different wor... err timezone | 08:40 |
| jibel | smb, np, I didn't expect any, I think i'll read the backscroll :) | 08:41 |
| smb | jibel, Ok, cool. :) | 08:42 |

| valentyn | Hello kernel-dev's. I found an IPv6 MTU path discovery bug, reported it to the kernel devs at netdev@vger.kernel.org... | 11:05 |
| valentyn | ... a patch was devised and David Miller accepted it for inclusion in stable ("queued up for stable")... | 11:06 |
| valentyn | ... now my question is: do these kinds of patches normally end up in the Ubuntu stable kernel automatically? | 11:07 |
| valentyn | (I realise that "these kind of" could mean anything - sorry for that) | 11:08 |
| valentyn | Just checking, in other words, if a bug fix *that has no related Ubuntu kernel bug* will - again, most likely - end up in the Ubuntu kernel. | 11:09 |
| henrix | valentyn: yes, we monitor the stable mailing list, where Dave sends these patches for the stable trees | 11:09 |
| henrix | valentyn: but if you provide me a link to this patch (e.g. SHA1 in netdev git), i can keep an eye on it | 11:10 |
| valentyn | henrix: I wouldn't know where that is. I only have the correspondence on the netdev mailing list :-S | 11:14 |
| valentyn | http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg254974.html | 11:14 |
| valentyn | and here http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg254973.html | 11:15 |
| valentyn | (Sorry, wrong order). But thanks anyway, I have some confidence that this will end up in stable without special care | 11:16 |
| henrix | valentyn: that's good enough for me ;) i'll add it to my list of patches i'm monitoring | 11:17 |
| valentyn | Thanks so much :-) Running self compiled kernels in a production environment is sooo 1996 ;-) | 11:18 |
| henrix | valentyn: btw, the ubuntu kernels are based on upstream stable kernels | 11:18 |
| henrix | valentyn: so, for ex, our saucy kernel is based on the 3.11 kernel. everything that hits upstream 3.11, will eventually be included in our saucy kernel | 11:19 |
| valentyn | OK. Well, I'm actually a bit confused by the fact that this rather intrusive MTU issue almost immediately boiled down to a kernel bug that must have been there for 6 months or more. I'm not really into kernel development - just a sysop :) | 11:21 |
| valentyn | ... which means that I also don't know much about kernel whereabouts, i.e. where does "stable" come from, who patches what etcetera etcetera. | 11:22 |
| valentyn | Hence my questions. Well, I'll just keep an eye on coming kernel updates and see if I find a changelog entry there. | 11:23 |
| valentyn | Thanks so far. | 11:23 |
| henrix | np | 11:23 |

| diwic | bjf, sconklin: some bugs in the latest sru cycle (e g bug 1236228) are having the "please test or your patch will be dropped" message, but missing the "this came from upstream stable" message | 13:43 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1236228 in linux (Ubuntu) "Dell vostro 5470 has mono speakers and broken headset mic" [Undecided,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1236228 | 13:43 |
| diwic | bjf, sconklin did you forget to run the script that set the upstream patches to verification-done ? | 13:44 |
| === fmasi_afk is now known as fmasi | ||
| bjf | diwic, i'll look at what happened with that bug but we don't run any such script | 14:12 |
| bjf | diwic, that's part of a LP process | 14:13 |
| diwic | bjf, ok, thanks. Also bug 1227093 seems to be affected | 14:15 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1227093 in linux (Ubuntu) "[haswell sony vaio pro] Internal microphone not working" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1227093 | 14:15 |
| bjf | diwic, the patches for those bugs are in the kernel that is in -proposed right now. they "should" get closed when that kernel go to -updates | 14:44 |
| * ppisati -> out for a bit | 14:46 | |
| diwic | bjf, sure. I'm just used to have this "this patch came from upstream stable and do not require verification", which usually follows right after the other message | 14:47 |
| diwic | bjf, it's that message that seems to be missing here for some reason | 14:47 |
| bjf | diwic, ok, let me check that | 14:47 |
| bjf | diwic, that commit came from upstream stable with the buglink. that's why it got spam'd with the request for verification | 14:52 |
| bjf | diwic, the right way to handle those is to change the verification-needed-saucy to verification-done-saucy | 14:52 |
| hallyn_ | could someone please confirm in bug 1021271 that my last comment is accurate - about the best way to get HWE kernel on a precise box? | 14:55 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1021271 in linux (Ubuntu) "KVM "enabling virtualization on CPU0 failed"" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1021271 | 14:55 |
| bjf | hallyn_, it should be linux-generic-lts-<series> to get the headers as well as the kernel | 14:59 |
| hallyn_ | bjf: thanks, commented in the bug | 15:02 |
| diwic | bjf, hmm, I'm looking through bugs to show you what message I'm talking about, but I can't find it. Maybe it's added individually by kernel team members | 15:03 |
| bjf | diwic, i know that I've added that message in the past by hand | 15:07 |
| bjf | diwic, i saw the one you added and it looked almost exactly like what i would have done | 15:07 |
| diwic | bjf, ok, thanks for the clarification | 15:08 |
| bjf | diwic, np. it's hard to remember what gets done by computer bots and what gets done by human bots | 15:08 |
| diwic | bjf, heh, true | 15:09 |
| smb | hallyn_, Seems I can run kvm on my 4850e ok (precise kernel). Can try on an Opteron in a bit. | 15:16 |
| apw | jamespage, openvswitch ... after our conv. last week I think we decided that that one is all in the main kernel, are you able to test the kernel in the ckt PPA and tell us that it is sufficient; and will you be handling deprecating that dkms package. | 15:17 |
| jamespage | apw, I will be able to test and I'll deal with deprecating the dkms package as well | 15:18 |
| jamespage | apw, but after next week | 15:18 |
| hallyn_ | smb: heck it could be a bad bit in his bios - if another kernel works, then all the better. | 15:22 |
| smb | hallyn_, Could be a BIOS bug or iommu problem when other virt solution modules (like virtualbox are loaded). Reading through this: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/5639 | 15:24 |
| hallyn_ | yeah but he insists he doesn't have virtualbox | 15:27 |
| hallyn_ | newer kernels don't mind vbox enabled so another reason to jsut have him upgrade :) | 15:27 |
| smb | hallyn_, Surely cannot harm | 15:28 |
| smb | hallyn_, Just for the fun of it, Precise kernel and Opteron 6128, kvm works. And that one has at least support for nested paging and an Amd-Vi (iommu) (If they have not actually been using Amd-V meaning virtualization...) | 16:10 |
| hallyn_ | his was what, a 4800? i don't really know what their model #s mean :) | 16:13 |
| smb | hallyn_, Me neither. Just saw they had a message about nested page table support.. :) | 16:38 |
