[16:47] <mamarley> apw: Just as a heads up, https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/ssb?id=882164a4a928bcaa53280940436ca476e6b1db8e causes b43 and b44 support to break again in the 4.17 mainline builds as it prevents SSB_DRIVER_PCICORE_POSSIBLE from being enabled if SSB=m, as it is in Ubuntu.
[16:47] <apw> mamarley, upstream ....
[16:47] <apw> sforshee, ^
[16:48] <sforshee> ack
[16:48] <sforshee> cascardo: ^
[16:48] <mamarley> Sorry, I didn't know whether it was an upstream bug or something that needed to change in the Ubuntu kernel config.
[17:05] <cascardo> ok, this came in 4.17-rc1
[17:06] <cascardo> mamarley: was it reported upstream already?
[17:06] <cascardo> I recall seeing something about ssb breaking before
[17:07] <mamarley> cascardo: No idea; I'm not even sure it is an upstream bug.
[17:07] <cascardo> ah, well, not a bug
[17:07] <cascardo> this just means that we are probably need to set SSB=y
[17:14] <femme> jsalisbury: I tested rc4 yesterday, is there anything relevant that changed?
[17:14] <femme> (it didn;t work with rc4)
[17:15] <jsalisbury> femme, no, it was worth checking though.  The backport of the patch posted in the upstrem bug was never accepted upstream.  I just wanted to confirm some other commit didn't fix the bug.
[17:16] <jsalisbury> femme, I just need to work on the backport some more and I'll have a test kernel to test
[18:22] <teward> anyone on the kernel team want to handle a question that should've been sent to the Kernel team directly that was posted over on Ask Ubuntu?  You know, if you aren't busy.  The question is specific to Kernel-team operations within the kernel PPA, so only a kernel team member can really answer the question...
[18:22] <teward> (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1036216/why-are-linux-kernel-images-missing-from-the-ubuntu-kernel-ppa-for-4-17-rcx-ubis the specific question)
[18:32] <apw> teward, yeah
[18:33] <teward> apw: thanks, hope you don't mind my dropping in and asking for the kernel team to give attention to such questions every once-in-a-while when it's something only the kernel team can answer :p
[18:33] <apw> nope
[18:35] <apw> teward, and done
[18:35] <teward> thank you kindly :)
