*** collab-meetbot changes topic to "Kernel maintenance updates (Meeting topic: CIP IRC weekly meeting)"12:10
pave1I did reviews on 5.10.153 and 5.10.154.12:11
ulireviewing 5.10.15412:11
pave14.4-cip & 4.4-cip-rt -- I guess I need to look at that. Sorry.12:11
pave15.10-cip-rt -- released.12:11
iwamatsu`I am reviewing 5.10.154.12:11
pave14.19-cip-rt -- that will be fun.12:12
pave1Upstream is preparing v4.19.255-rt114-rc2 update.12:13
pave1But we are currently at 4.19.264-cip84. So ... upstream is behind by a lot.12:13
jkido you know any reasons for that?12:14
*** jki_ <jki_!~jki@195.145.170.193> has joined #cip12:15
pave1I guess they hit some kind of problem with TIMER_IRQSAFE timers? Not sure.12:15
pave1They should be releasing v4.19.255-rt114 today.12:15
pave1I believe it makes sense to wait them for few more days to see what is going on there.12:17
pave1Or I can ask when 4.19.255 announcement comes.12:18
jki_would be good for us to be at least informed12:18
jki_we may face questions from our users about why cip-rt is behind12:18
jki_relates to my AOB topic...12:18
*** jki <jki!~jki@195.145.170.165> has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)12:18
jki_what's the 4.4 status now?12:19
pave14.4-cip & 4.4-cip-rt -- I guess I need to look at that. Sorry.12:20
jki_for 4.4-cip, we are still on a "once per month" promise12:20
pave1I know. 4.4-cip could be released as is, if we wanted to keep the promise :-).12:21
pave1But I am in the middle of move to newer 4.4-st, and there's that annoying warning from IP code that would be worth solving...12:21
jki_if you need support, raise a hand, but we should at least clarify reasons for delays12:22
jki_if there are no relevant fixes pending, not releasing is obviously not a problem12:24
pave1We have12:24
pave1Current 4.4-cip is up-to-date with 4.9.325. That is not yet released.12:25
pave14.4-st-rc is mostly up-to-date with 4.9.328.12:26
pave1Plus there's the ugly warning.12:26
pave1If we want to do a release, we can... But we should be able to do release with 4.9.328 next week.12:27
jki_is this basically the state for the last 3 months?12:27
jki_unless I missed something, last release was in August12:27
pave1Major changes are happening with lockstep with mainline kernels.12:28
pave1I guess reducing release cadence for 4.4 would make sense.12:28
jki_then we need reasoning for that12:29
jki_but we would have missed even the cadence for 4.4-rt12:29
jki_so, how to proceed now best for the current 4.4 situation?12:32
pave1I believe best way forward is to do release with 4.9.328 changes next week12:33
jki_ok12:34
pave1Plus I can graph changes over time to 4.9. My feeling is that releasing 4.4 monthly does not make much sense any more because significant changes basically arrive every two months.12:34
pave1I can gather data to support that after we do the release, I guess.12:35
jki_sounds good to me12:35
pave1ok :-)/12:35
jki_anything else?12:37
jki_312:37

jki_#topic Kernel testing12:38
alicefI have nothing other to add12:38
patersonc[m]The gitlab runners have been upgraded to use the latest s/w. We've also upgraded the underlying EC2 instances12:39
patersonc[m]So far I haven't seen any issues. Please keep an eye out though12:39
patersonc[m]* gitlab runners used for test jobs have been12:39
patersonc[m]lab-cip-denx is currently offline. I've notified Denx12:40
patersonc[m]I don't think I have anything else to report12:42
jki_anyone else with testing topics?12:43
jki_312:44
jki_212:44
jki_112:44
jki_#topic AOB12:44
jki_- actively communicating deviations from the kernel release schedule12:44
jki_I was thinking about this these days, to help our users follow the CIP kernel work12:45
jki_what do you think?12:45
patersonc[m]Makes sense to me12:47
alicefalso to me12:48
patersonc[m]How did you plan to do it? Emails to cip-dev?  Or some sort of status page?12:48
pave1I think we may try to use this as an opportunity to see who uses which -cip kernels and what release schedules they require.12:48
pave1You are quite good at anouncing deviations at CIP TSC meetings :-).12:48
jki_cip-dev would be my first idea12:48
jki_same channel as for release announcements12:48
jki_well, the TSC report template I inherited contains a report section on releases12:49
pave1Early next year will have 4th kernel to maintain, and reducing the schedules for the old ones might help.12:49
jki_and if I have to put all entries to "none", I scratch my head ;)12:49
jki_sure, this is not about releasing needlessly frequent12:50
iwamatsu`jki: don't understand the sentence correctly. Does Devisions mean a delay in release?12:50
pave1:-). Yes, but noone at the TSC meeting seemed to care.12:50
jki_I mean when we promised to release a kernel once per month, and we are delayed by a week already12:50
jki_not when we are 2 days off for a biweekly release schedule12:51
jki_we had the cases for RT in the past with missing upstream updates12:51
iwamatsu`I understood.12:52
pave1And it is quite apparent that we'll have more such issues in future, at least for RT :-(.12:52
iwamatsu`s/understood/understand/12:52
jki_sure, and we won't be able to resolve them all in time12:52
jki_transparency would help here12:52
jki_and may also help triggering awareness for our work - and maybe even more contributions12:53
patersonc[m]Perhaps some sort of regular report on kernel work to cip-dev would be a good thing12:53
patersonc[m]Help show the work we're doing with 4.4-st for example12:53
jki_we could start with gathering a status more formally during this meeting12:54
jki_I would volunteer sharing this via cip-dev, regularly or on demand - tbd12:54
pave1If the goal would be to do more regular releases, that would work.12:56
pave1But ... at least for rt ... maybe it would be more fair to clearly state that we depend on upstream for this.12:56
jki_regular transparency would be my primary goal12:56
pave1...so there's basically not a "release schedule".12:57
pave1...but we release when upstream does.12:57
pave1...and ask users and our security team to tell us if it is not frequent enough.12:58
jki_we have had no complaints about 4.4 delays yet, that is good news12:58
jki_but we don't get the silent impressions of observers this way12:59
pave1So my impression is that noone uses 4.4-rt. We probably still have some 4.4-cip users :-).12:59
iwamatsu`Perhaps the user wants to know the reason for the delay, so first suggests the reason for the delay.13:00
jki_again, we are not just late with 4.4-rt, but also with 4.4 itself13:00
jki_I will add some topic section "kernel release status" for the next irc meeting to give this a start13:01
jki_then we can think about how to make use of it best13:01
iwamatsu`+113:02
pave1Yep. I should have some data about patches going to 4.4 next week.13:04
jki_perfect13:04
jki_anyone anything else for today?13:05
