We need to formalize the process between i915 proper and GVT-g a bit more, and address some of the current shortcomings and issues in the process and GVT-g CI.
This started off internally as a random list of items, I'm including some of the current status as well. Please comment, as some of the stuff here are just my opinions. * How do we ensure GVT-g patches get the same kind of pre-merge CI coverage as we have for other i915 code? Could we at least make CI run tests on GVT-g pull requests before merging to drm-intel trees? => Work in progress to set up GVT-g CI. * How do we handle fixes to GVT-g code? Do all fixes need to go via the GVT-g mailing lists and review? We're bound to get GVT-g patches on intel-gfx mailing list too. There's confusion already [1]. Mostly the GVT-g changes come from GVT-g maintainers as pull requests. [1] https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/14000/ * GVT-g related changes to i915 proper must be reviewed on intel-gfx mailing list, and must either be applied to drm-intel directly, or get an ack to be merged via GVT-g tree and pull requests. * GVT-g needs to start annotating fixes with the Fixes: tags, preferably also cc: stable when we get that far, so our fixes plumbing can figure out which commits to backport. => GVT-g maintainers will take care of this. * Should GVT-g have a MAINTAINERS entry of its own? => https://github.com/01org/gvt-linux/commit/41161c9e9e50a5bad98a0e74ad0878c352bdea40 +INTEL GVT-g DRIVERS (Intel GPU Virtualization) +M: Zhenyu Wang <[email protected]> +M: Zhi Wang <[email protected]> +L: [email protected] +L: [email protected] +W: https://01.org/igvt-g +T: git https://github.com/01org/gvt-linux.git +S: Supported +F: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/ I think we'll want to keep intel-gfx there, but mostly I think it's fine for the usual GVT-g development to happen on igvt-g-dev only. * [email protected] needs to start accepting mails from non-subscribers. => Work in progress. * GVT-g needs to start paying more attention to compiler and sparse warnings. => GVT-G maintainers will take care of this. * GVT-g could use some overview documentation under Documentation/gpu. * GVT-g bug management. Do you have something set up already? Would be great to be able to use https://bugs.freedesktop.org so we could reassign between i915 and GVT-g. What did I forget/overlook?
