As outlined in https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio/202304/msg00036.html ff., as part of the release process for the 1.3 version of the virtio spec, we have now entered feature freeze. This means:
*** By July 1st[3rd], all not yet integrated features that are targeting 1.3 need to have at least a github issue open that is pointing to a patch (set) on the list. *** AFAICS, the list of features matching these criteria is the following: https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/173 ("virtio-net: support inner header hash") * this looks very close, with voting likely to start in the next couple of days https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/167 ("Support transitional device for PCIe VF") * I have not followed that one in detail, but it has been stated that this one should also be ready soon -- can people please confirm that this will be ready for inclusion in July? https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/170 ("The size of virtio_net_hdr struct are wrong when VIRTIO_NET_HASH_REPORT feature is negotiated.") * Can someone please check the status of this? Looks like a patch is available, but no progress for a long time? Is this maybe interacting with the inner header hash feature? Any others that I have missed? I'd like to wrap this up in July; not a real problem if we spill over a couple of days into August, but I'd really like to avoid delaying the process for too much (it will take long enough already.) virtio 1.3 timeline: Development July 3rd: feature freeze (github issue <-- we are here and change on list) August 1st: change freeze (all voted upon) virtio-next development branch opens August: prepare draft August 31st (latest): draft voted upon by TC September: public review period October: addtl public review period, if needed October (November): 1.3 released merge virtio-next development branch --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: virtio-dev-unsubscr...@lists.oasis-open.org For additional commands, e-mail: virtio-dev-h...@lists.oasis-open.org
