I still see for-rc points to old (4.14) code. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma.git/log/?h=k.o/for-rc There is a need to advance -rc to be equal to -next during merge window, so we will be able to actually base our -rc/-next patches. > > Do you see otherwise? > > We are now doing patches for rc. > > The iWarp security fix from Daniel is definitely rc material.

I'll take a look, but most probably I'll skip the split exercise.

I belive Doug has already sent the pull request for this merge window, and the new shared tree location is fully up to date, and there are no accepted but unset patches at this time? Do you see otherwise? We are now doing patches for rc. The iWarp security fix from Daniel is definitely rc material. Can you split that 33 patch series into things you think are rc material? Jason

Jason, As was discussed in September and October, add Jason along with Doug to have a team maintainership model for the RDMA subystem. Happy to see this happening, thanks for stepping up. Thanks to everyone who allowed it to happen (especially Doug). Good Luck!

Well, there are ways around the system if you really wanted to do so. You can push to k.o with an empty ref, aka something like 'git push k.o :k.o/for-next', which will delete the old branch. Then you could rebase it locally and repush it. But that would make you a very evil person and if Linus found out he would (rightfully!) yell at you for many paragraphs with lots of all caps ;-). The other option is to delete the bad branch and push a new branch with a different name and the rebase already done. I did that a couple times in the early days of this job. Now a days, I wouldn't even do this for anything short of a disk corrupting issue or something like that. I've come to appreciate just how much people rely on unchanging commit IDs. So the fact that the k.o repos don't allow non-fast-forward pushes is an inconvenience, but it doesn't stop you from doing it if you really wanted to. But it's very bad form to do so, and that's the real reason that I keep my 0day source on github and tell people regularly that my github repo is a "rebase allowed" repo. So, my workflow in order to prevent getting a bad branch on k.o goes something like this: 1) Bundle up patches that belong together as a bundle in patchworks 2) Review patches 3) Download bundle from patchworks, apply using git -am. Do any edits to commit messages at this stage, either by hand editing the bundle file before you run git -am, or afterwards by doing a git rebase -i. 4) Build locally and frequently as you take stuff in. I suggest a build between each bundle. It's much easier to fix up errors when they aren't buried 40 patches deep in your day's work. I use partial builds for the intermediate builds (make SUBDIRS=drivers/infiniband usually, but other directories if the bundle touched code elsewhere). 5) When I think I'm basically done for the day, then I do a final, full kernel build. 6) Push to 0day repo, wait for results. This is a good time to do whatever run testing you plan on doing for this push. 7) Push to k.o once 0day and your testing has passed. Following that workflow minimizes the chances of having a broken push to k.o. If something does actually slip through this workflow, then you just fix it incrementally unless leaving the issue will cause a meltdown of the Internet or something. The one thing it doesn't catch, which is actually what caused the time or two I had to delete a branch and make a new branch on k.o, is when you have to manually apply a patch because git am said the patch didn't apply cleanly. Most times, just running patch -p1 -l < .git/rebase-apply/patch gets the patch in. Git am will reject patches for any fuzz. If we were using git merge/pull, there is often enough context for git to know when to allow the fuzz, but the am mode of git doesn't have that info and dumps on very minor issues. So you manually apply the patch, accepting some fuzz, and inspect the result. Where I screwed up in the past, is when the patch adds a totally new file to the repo. My usual workflow after applying the patch manually, and then inspecting any suspect areas and hand editing files when hunks get rejected, is to run git add -u. This fails to add new files to the commit. So, I had to add an additional git status step to see if there are any new, untracked files before I run the final git am --continue. If you split step 5 above into 5a) Push from local work repo to local prep repo and 5b) Do full kernel build in prep repo to test that all code needed to compile is tracked by git, it would catch that mistake before it makes it outside the firewall. That's a change I may make just to be on the safe side in the future. -- Doug Ledford GPG KeyID: B826A3330E572FDD Key fingerprint = AE6B 1BDA 122B 23B4 265B 1274 B826 A333 0E57 2FDD signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
