jki#topic AI review12:02
*** collab-meetbot` changes topic to "AI review (Meeting topic: CIP IRC weekly meeting)"12:02
jki1. Resolve/ignore failures of KernelCI on 4.4-cip - alicefm12:02
alicefI think this AI is not directly mine. we was talking about reading the email, that I have not replayed yet. patersonc[m] do you have any comment on this?12:03
alicefI think the problems need to be sent to kernelCI not me.12:04
jkisorry if I misinterpreted that - but who can/will do the next step?12:04
patersonc[m]Agreed that a lot of the points in Pavel's email are more for KernelCI12:05
alicefSo opening issues directly to KernelCI about any CIP results issues is the best way12:05
alicefto have it solved12:05
patersonc[m]I was going to add them on CC by our work mail client corrupts all the links making it impossible for others to use...12:05
alicefpave1: should not send the email directly to me. each problem he found need to be sended to kernelCI12:05
alicefand I will help solve such problems from kernelci12:06
pave1I don't think I know enough about kernelci to do submissions myself.12:06
alicefpave1: just open issues on github12:06
pave1I just need something to test the kernels.12:06
*** pekkari <pekkari!~pekkari@user/pekkari> has quit IRC (Quit: Konversation terminated!)12:06
patersonc[m]If we truly don't want to get results from configs/arches we don't "care" about, we should reduce the test coverage. But that would have the impact of reducing the test coverage ;)12:07
alicefpave1: not sure what you mean by that. are you implaying that KernelCI is not testing ?12:07
alicefsorry but the best way of getting your kernel testing is using KernelCI effort12:07
jkiI suppose kernelci wants one issue per failing build/test, right?12:07
alicefjust opening the issues to cip is not making KernelCI aware of such problems12:08
alicefyes12:08
alicefKernelCI is already doing it for the stable kernels12:08
pave1I'm impliying that kernelci is currently useless for CIP kernel work.12:08
pave1It is possible that submitting a lot of issues would improve that.12:08
alicefhow do you expect that I replay to this ?12:09
pave1But that's significant work and I don't think I'm the best one to do that.12:09
alicefKernelCI example on stable kernels bugs https://github.com/orgs/kernelci/projects/612:09
alicefjki: sorry but this is not my issue. the issue is to upstream bugs with kernelci to kernelci.12:11
jkiunderstood, but we need someone to carry to bugs there12:12
alicefThat is the best way for getting collaboration from kernelci12:12
jkiseems like no one is currently willing to do that12:12
jkiI can try to sit down over a few failures we've seen and start creating issues, CC'ing you, if that helps12:13
alicefjki: we don't need someone to carry bugs there. we need that who is checking kernel results follow a upstream workflow12:13
alicefon kernelci12:13
patersonc[m]At the very least send Pavel's email to the kernelci mailing list12:13
alicefjust keeping bugs internal to cip is not a collaboration effort12:13
jkialicef: if you know best what we need to do, we need your help to do the first steps12:14
jkiso, what is best now as first step? forward/resend the email or create issues?12:15
patersonc[m]ideally both, but email as a minimum12:15
alicefsorry, I really struggle to understand where is the problem on upstreaming issues with kernelci to kernelci.12:16
pave1I don't thimk that email is suitable for forwarding .-)12:16
alicef...12:16
jkipavel: can you write a suitable one to get started?12:16
alicefI don't think we need someone to forward it12:17
alicefjust put kernelci in cc12:17
patersonc[m](kernelci@groups.io)12:18
alicefkernelci@groups.io12:18
alicefI'm not the one that can decide for pavel what wark and dosen't work for pave112:19
pave1Hmmm. I can write something but I'd preffer not to talk directly to kernelci.12:19
jkipavel: why not?12:19
alicef...12:20
pave1Not sure if I'm diplomatic enough for that... and that I know enough about kernelci/cip relationship.12:20
jkibut you know best what you consider a kernelci issue, and why12:21
patersonc[m]KernelCI are happy to receive any feedback12:22

patersonc[m]Let's move on12:24
jkinot sure if we have a consensus on the next steps yet12:25
patersonc[m]The action is on Pavel to send his feedback to the KernelCI mailing list12:25
jkipavel: ok for you?12:26
pave1No.12:26
pave1There's real work to be done in testing.12:26
pave1Currently it seems noone is willing to do the work.12:27
pave1Tesing group seems to say 'just talk to kernelci'.12:27
pave1I could not find single suitable bugreport. I detailed that in the email.12:27
jkiok, let's postpone the topic to a later round - will also have a look again myself12:29
jki2. Check cip devices on kernelci old pull request - patersonc12:30
patersonc[m]No progress this week12:30
jki3. Update https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform/ciptesting/cipreferencehardware - iwamatsu-san12:30
jki.../wrt qemu targets12:31
iwamatsuChris and I support armhf and arm64 into kernel testing.12:31
iwamatsuso we can enable / support OK to status of each QEMU.12:32
jkigreat!12:32
jkiwill you flip the related marks in the wiki?12:32
iwamatsuOK, I will do it.12:33

jki#topic Kernel maintenance updates12:33
*** collab-meetbot` changes topic to "Kernel maintenance updates (Meeting topic: CIP IRC weekly meeting)"12:33
ulilooked into potential 4.4 backports12:34
masamiThere was 8 CVEs and 2 updated CVEs this week.12:34
pave1I believe that whoever believes kernelci is good idea should do the work.12:34
pave1Sorry, connection problem.12:35
pave1I did some reviews on 5.10.129.12:35
iwamatsuI reviewed 5.10.12912:35
jkiwhat is the status on 4.4 side? can we push out new releases?12:37
jkithat question came up in the TSC12:37
iwamatsupave1: sorry, I dont know status of latest 4.4.y-st tree. If you think we can release it, I will work...12:37
pave1I'm currently traveling. I should be able to work on it next week.12:38
pave1We can release but we are lagging behind -- random and tcp.12:38
ulifrom what i can see so far, most (if not all) random patches don't apply to the implementation in 4.412:39
jkido we know more about them by now, if we should fix something in 4.4 as well?12:40
jkiare they in 4.9?12:40
ulirandom seems to have been rewritten between 4.4 and 4.9, and the patches in question are all fixups for the new implementation, afaict12:41
iwamatsudont apply > As with CVE, some patches will be difficult to apply. We will also need to make that choice.12:41
alicefpave1: sending to kernelci is needed for getting kernelci opinion on this. is not just about doing the work.12:41
alicefalso we is useful for improving CIP connections with KernelCI12:42
pave1I'm still not sure why random was rewritten.12:42
jkireach out to the developer(s)?12:43
jkimaybe even in private if that topic could be sensitiv12:43
pave1We may want to do other stuff first.12:43
patersonc[m]Does the RT project follow any kind of release schedule?12:46
patersonc[m]I.e. is there something we can align to?12:46
pave1There seem to be individual maintainers doing stable-rt12:47
pave1each with his own schedule.12:47
pave1About 1-2 releases a week seem common.12:48
pave1..a month, not a week.12:49
pave1sorry.12:49
patersonc[m]Okay12:49
patersonc[m]And are we maintaining the v4.4 version now?12:49
pave1Yes, we are.12:49
patersonc[m]Thanks12:50
jkiany other topics for this section?12:51
iwamatsuo/12:51
iwamatsuother information: Chris and I supported BBB and QEMU arm to 4.4.y and 4.9.y tree for CI testing.12:52
patersonc[m]It's a shame we didn't sync our 5.10 releases with either 5.10.119 or 5.10.120 - both of them seem to have an RT release12:52
pave1Thanks! 4.4 testing is needed.12:53
iwamatsuYes, it is my mistake..12:53
patersonc[m]4.4: https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-kernel/linux-cip/-/pipelines/58228456312:53
iwamatsubut current test is boot and scm. I am working to add other test to each target.12:54
patersonc[m]Thanks iwamatsu12:54
jkiso we are already in...12:55
pave1Reallistically, boot is most useful test.12:55

patersonc[m]See the latest 4 pipelines here: https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-kernel/linux-cip/-/pipelines12:56
patersonc[m]QEMU arm/arm64 and BBB all now working12:57
patersonc[m]I've also enabled the boot testing for the RT configs for v5.1012:57
patersonc[m]That's probably about it12:59
patersonc[m]Thank you iwamatsu for your MRs12:59
pave1Thank you!12:59

jkifirst, I'm not available next week13:01
jkicould someone take over?13:01
pave1Sorry for connection problems.13:01
pave1I'll be available next week, but not the week after that.13:02
jkipavel: can you run the meeting next week?13:02
pave1Yes, I can.13:02
jkiperfect, thanks!13:03
pave1You are welcome .-).13:03
jkithen Chris brought up the valid question if we are already thinking about the next major CIP kernel13:03
pave1When should that begin?13:04
jkii think we are still early in the learning phase what 4.4 selfmaintenance "costs"13:04
patersonc[m]jki: oh yea, forgot about that13:04
patersonc[m]The obvious question will be - what will it cost to maintain a 4th kernel in parallel13:05
jkiwe will eventually need to answer the question how much extra effort a 5.2x-cip would bring and how much we need to scale further, and when13:05
jkiright13:05
jkiso far, we kept the pace of having a new kernel every 2 years (more or less, just later announced for 5.10)13:06
jkiwe will not have to answer that question tomorrow, but we should keep that in mind and collect data13:06
patersonc[m]I'm guessing the team is fairly maxed out already?13:07
pave1With the reviews, yes. We still could decide to review less.13:08
jkihow much do we find in reviews?13:09
pave1And we also have some flexibility regarding how much we backport.13:09
pave1jki> Well.. There's a lot of stuff that does not match published stable rules.13:10
pave1But finding hard bugs where Greg is willing to revert is more rare, perhaps one in 50 patches.13:10
jkiwell, that is still quite some value for us and our users13:11
pave1..and for stable community, too, I guess. It is our contribution to stable community.13:12
jkiof course!13:13
jkiok, let's keep that question of efforts in mind13:14
jkimaybe also a topic for the next extended TSC, and then we should have some first feelings collected13:15
jkianything else for today?13:15
