[03:34] <infinity> apw: The trusty kernel bits I just copied from the PPA seem to lack meta adjustments for arm64.
[04:15] <apw> infinity, hrm, that'd be my fault, will sort and upload in the am
[04:40] <infinity> apw: Cool.  No huge rush, just thought I'd point it out. :P
[11:51] <lesshaste> hi

[11:52] <lesshaste> I would like to zero-out unused memory pages to reduce the size of VM snapshots. The hypervisor saves all non-zero pages in the snapshot, so freed, non-zero, but unused pages are stored in the snapshot when they needn't be.
[11:52] <lesshaste> is this possible?
[12:18] <brendand> bjf, hi
[12:19] <brendand> bjf, we've been whacked by some tooling issues this week that were outside of our control. how would you feel about me updating the tracking bugs tomorrow. i can go ahead with what we've got right now if you'd prefer though
[15:00] <apw> lesshaste, there has been some talk of it, i have not seen any actual changes to implement it, but it wouldn't be so hard i recon
[15:02] <lesshaste> apw, oh!
[15:02] <lesshaste> apw, do you happen to have  a reference to this talk?
[15:02] <lesshaste> apw, or some terms I can google
[15:05] <apw> i would look for talk about kfree and _ZERO, but otherwise i no longer recall
[15:07] <bjf> brendand, that's fine, you have all next week as well for testing. not exactly sure what your asking me
[15:08] <apw> lesshaste, oh and KSM i think was involved.  they wanted it for the same purpose making unused pages in VMs merge i think
[15:16] <brendand> bjf, ok. usually we like to have results this week anyway
[15:17] <bjf> brendand, usually you don't start testing until next week (the 3rd week). we started setting the cert-testing task earlier because there wasn't any real need to wait until the 3rd week
[15:18] <bjf> brendand, so now, in the 3 week cadence, you have the 2nd and 3rd week to do your testing
[15:31] <lesshaste> apw, thanks
[15:31] <lesshaste> apw, actually.. which mailing list? lkml or an ubuntu one?
[15:39] <lesshaste> apw, or actually this channel?
[16:22] <apw> lesshaste, it may have been something mentioned on kernel-team@ mailing list referencing the lkml thread, but it is long flushed from my memory
