I guess I should do -rt release on top of that. 13:04:11 I reviewing 6.12.37 13:04:18 welcome 13:06:19 anything to add? 13:06:38 5 13:06:41 4 13:06:42 3 13:06:44 2 13:06:46 1 13:06:48 #topic Kernel release status 13:06:59 two kernels are currently late 13:07:35 or was 4.19 now released? 13:07:42 it was, see above 13:07:51 ah, now I see :) 13:08:01 what about 5.10-rt? 13:08:31 Let me check. 13:09:21 Actually, let me check after the meeting. 13:09:44 ok, the tool says it was due on the 14th 13:10:02 then please check if we are missing anything for it - thanks! 13:10:11 anything else on releases? 13:10:40 5 13:10:42 4 13:10:43 3 13:10:45 2 13:10:47 1 13:10:50 #topic Kernel testing 13:11:05 Nothing from me 13:11:35 We got 6.1 and 6.12 working on KernelCI with cip configurations but still missing 5.15 13:11:47 not sure why, currently checking 13:12:08 also still working on adding the CIP laboratory boards to KernelCI 13:12:10 Failures such as this -- https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-testing/linux-stable-rc-ci/-/tree/linux-5.4.y -- I assume are not real? 13:13:45 example of 6.1.y-cip running with cip configurations https://dashboard.kernelci.org/tree/cip/linux-6.1.y-cip/6fd9f5d39d93831ca6f2cef099a6a2a1b9feaa80 13:14:05 pave1: Looks like NFS is failing to mount on openblocks-iot-vx2-01 13:14:09 defconfig+allnoconfig+cip://6.1.y-cip/arm64/qemu_arm64_defconfig 13:14:40 x86_64_defconfig+allnoconfig+cip://6.1.y-cip/x86/cip_qemu_defconfig 13:14:49 pave1: It's working today though by the looks of it? 13:15:04 multi_v7_defconfig+allnoconfig+cip://6.1.y-cip/arm/qemu_arm_defconfig 13:15:06 patersonc: Would you place your bets in "stable broke networking in the kernel" or "mouse ate the cabling"? 13:15:18 openblocks-iot-vx2 does not work ethernet device. 13:16:18 and that is a regression? 13:16:43 iwamatsu: As in "kernel bug", "broken hw" or "bad setup in test lab"? 13:18:32 Seems to work for some kernel configs/kernels and not others: https://lava.ciplatform.org/scheduler/device_type/x86-openblocks-iot-vx2 13:18:41 https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-testing/linux-stable-rc-ci/-/commits/linux-5.4.y all fail. 13:19:08 CIP kernels okay. stable kernels not okay? 13:20:12 Is vx2 new addition to stable kernel testing? 13:20:38 If I remember correctly, it is a kernel config issue. 13:20:47 maybe yet another cip-kernel-config fallout? 13:21:07 we had/have too many of them in broken states 13:21:44 I will check the config and modify it to work with the LTS kernel as well. 13:22:10 5.15 has the same problem. 5.10 works ok on -stable. 13:22:18 we really need to get rid of these intermediate configs, maybe only maintain fixups for them up to the next cip kernel 13:22:25 no one looks at them in practice 13:22:45 that's basically my AOB topic :) 13:23:29 anything to add regarding testing? 13:24:04 5 13:24:06 4 13:24:08 3 13:24:10 2 13:24:11 1 13:24:14 #topic AOB 13:24:31 I'll be travelling next week. 13:24:48 and I will be offline next two weeks 13:25:00 who can take over? 13:26:17 I can takeover. 13:26:33 thanks in advance! 13:26:39 :-) 13:26:52 "further workflow improvements for cip-kernel-config" 13:27:24 I expressed one concern already, and we have the autogeneration of merged defconfig changes in the pipeline 13:27:34 what do others think about this? 13:28:12 nice 13:28:53 I will merge it after this meeting. 13:29:27 Regarding maintenance of configs. 13:29:56 (VX2 and others) perhaps the 4.19.y config fixes are not reflected in the back LTS such as 5.4. 13:30:19 I will work on this. 13:30:38 yeah, it might be that 4.19 wasn't enbled for that hardware originally 13:31:17 more common was the issue that we didn't have features added in 6.1-cip and older in the stable configs that fed 6.12-cip 13:33:13 do you think we should address this automated or better via review in the future? 13:33:32 Yes, that is correct. Since that work is missing,  I will check the commit and update it. 13:34:36 Perhaps it would be easier to do with review. 13:35:11 initially, sure 13:35:38 but it puts more load on config contributors and on the reviewer 13:37:14 Yes, I would like to create and automate a checking  and upodate tool or CI. I plan to do this as well. 13:37:51 that would be great - maybe sync with Quirin, already discussed some ideas with him 13:37:59 nice 13:38:37 ok - any other businesses for today? 13:39:15 5 13:39:17 4 13:39:19 3 13:39:20 2 13:39:21 1 13:39:23 #endmeeting
