Here goes the latest kernel status update:
http://www.kernelnewbies.org/status/
Of note the week is the addition to the list of SCTP, the third
general purpose transport protocol (after TCP and UDP) from the
IETF. A linux kernel implementation is in the works - you can
download an alpha version - courtesy of the lksctp team.
Anything you'd like me to add or remove from the list after the
kernel summit discussions?
Cheers,

Check out http://www.kernelnewbies.org/status/ for the latest kernel
status update.
Many link changes this week to reflect new URLs for several projects.
Also removed some URLs that were not very useful or pointing to patches
through the Bitkeeper Web interface that kept changing (I think the
Bitmover team is working on a fix - I'll put them back when that's
done).
Finally, on the cleanup side, I am planning on removing the following
entries that have been submitted a while back and don't look like
there are going to be accepted for inclusion anytime soon:
- Better event logging for enterprise systems
- Linux booting ELF images
- First pass at LinuxBIOS support
- Build option for Linux Trace Toolkit (LTT)
- Scalable CPU bitmasks
Also on the planned deletion list:
- Add thrashing control
- Generic parameter/command line interface
As usual, feedback welcome!
Enjoy,
-- Guillaume

I've had the mechanism working for well over a year now, but
still don't have a proper policy for load control implemented.

This is (in limited form) ready for merging and has been
stability tested by Andrew Morton. A patch should go to
Linus soon...

This is still in discussion. The real issue is not breaking syslog parsers
(in fact its a way to make sure they dont break in future) but to get
- Accurate reporting
- Error classifications
- Error manuals
- Translations
etc
done in a way that doesnt make the kernel ugly. Thats non trivial. I need
to schedule a discussion with some IBM folks about part of this

New week, new status update...
The details are at http://www.kernelnewbies.org/status/
With the code freeze date approaching soon, it is obvious that many
of these projects will not get merged in the next 3 months.
What would you rather me do? Keep them in here just for reference,
mark them as post-code freeze or just delete them?
Let me know what you think,

Please keep them as post-code freeze. They might not go into
2.5 and early 2.6, but that doesn't mean we should throw away
our TODO list ;)

I broke down my status list into 3 categories:
- likely to be merged before the Halloween feature freeze
- likely not to be ready by Halloween
- ongoing work
Do you think the breakdown is realistic?

My patch for this, while a bit large, is simple enough it can be merged
after the freeze. E.g., if rmap is merged this is just "more rmap work"
and sane.
I would bump this down to "After feature freeze..." although I see no
reason it cannot go in sooner (I just do not consider it a pre-freeze
item in terms of its impact).
> After feature freeze:
Easily 90% of this stuff should _not_ go in after the freeze. It either
needs to make it in now or hold its breath until 2.7.
I would much prefer a rush of merges now and less "improper" merges
after the freeze. In fact, I do not care much what we do now as long as
we treat the freeze as a freeze and work solely to stabilize stuff.

Agreed. What we need is a 2.6 that is relatively easy to
stabilise, not one that'll take until 2.6.20 to become
stable.
If some of the other features turn out to be needed, they
can always be backported from 2.7. In fact, backporting
from 2.7 is probably _quicker_ than throwing in too many
features just before the feature freeze and then try to
stabilise them all at once together...

Rik

I've reorganized the list into 5 categories based on the feedback
I received. Now let's see what happens :-)
In line with your expectations?

Many many changes this week, including the inclusion of the new
virtual memory system using reverse mapping in 2.5.27.
Also added better entries for all the NUMA work tentatively planned
for inclusion in 2.6. If you have not looked at the status list
in a while, chances are you won't recognize it :-)
The latest status update is always available at

Enjoy!

The most fundamental part of this has already been discussed a lot and
posted to the kernel list, including a lot of fixes (all hopefully
integrated). That's obviously the removal of the global irq lock. In the
short term (famous last words) that breaks a number of SMP configurations,
but fixing them should not be horribly hard.
A lot of other stuff here too - the regular USB updates, fbdev updates,
m68k and ppc64 updates, IDE fix, and a sync-up with Al. Serial lawyer all
shook up (the irq lock kind of forced that one, but it's certainly been
pending long enough..)
Go wild,
Linus

The original fix sent to Ingo for stop_tx didn't take account that
the start_tx and stop_tx methods can be called from the device
specific code under the port spinlock. Consequently, we move the
spinlock to the callers of these methods. Documentation updated to
reflect the change.

Yes, a number of drivers won't compile on SMP because they want the global
lock (that is gone). This includes the cmd640 IDE driver, and the parallel
port driver (and a largish number of others too, but I think those two are
the really common ones).
It should all work the same way it always did on UP, and hopefully the
straggling drivers will be converted to use local spinlocks soon (and in
some cases the global irq lock might not even be needed at all)

Why?
Sure, one could get fancy, but just running SCSI or IP
over InfiniBand can't be that complicated... hmmm?

It's big, it's complex, and nobody seems to take it that seriously (the
only people who ever asked _me_ about it was Intel, and they seem to
have cancelled their own projects).
If it turns out to be a big hit, it can be backported. But as it looks
now, it has very little relevance for any 2.6 freeze schedule.
