== Participants == * Ben Kaduk * Jeffrey Altman * Marc Dionne * Mike Meffie * Stephan Wiesand == 1.6.12 release == === Linux === The patch Marc submitted to resolve the recent GPLONLY issue is likely to be on Linux mainline (and thus -rc3) soon. The proposed mmap fix (11124) currently calls osi_free inside a spinlock which may cause deadlocks. Marc will update the change. A change backported to the EL6.7 (in public beta since yesterday) kernel breaks the OpenAFS client. Marc has ideas how to tackle this. The most straightforward way to deal with it would be to avoid using d_splice_alias altogether, but that would break the NFS translator on the few old Linux kernels where it still works (< ~ 2.6.25, in particular EL5). Doing that for affected kernels only seems more appropriate for a stable release series. Marc will try to come up with a patch. === Yosemite/Clang === 11859 was merged during the meeting. [11850 was merged after the meeting and pulled up to 11863, to fix 11842. Review of the changes in http://gerrit.openafs.org/#q,status:open+project:openafs+branch:openafs-stable-1_6_x+topic:yosemite-compilation-cherrypicking,n,z would be appreciated and help getting a pre2 out next week] == 1.8 release == The current priority change to get ready for merging is softsig (6947). There are still a few loose ends though, like which signals should be allowed to be caught (FPE and PIPE?) and test code that may not work as desired when compiled with optimization turned on. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
