Participants: * Andrew Deason * Derrick Brashear * Jeffrey Altman * Marc Dionne * Stephan Wiesand == Linux news == Marc tested with Linux 3.14-rc1, no need for changes yet. The getname() function is no longer exported, but luckily we stopped using it as of 1.6.6 (and 1.6.5.2). == Old items revisited for 1.6.7 == Giving up callbacks at client shutdown: It seems unlikely that there will ever be consensus about when and how it should go in. Both gatekeepers want it in now, and without another knob to turn it off. So that's what we'll do. This can cause memory corruption in fileservers from 1.3.50 to 1.4.5 and 1.5.0 to 1.5.27. A security advisory was issued in 2007. To be announced on openafs-info, openafs-announce and at EAKC. Gerrit 6272 + 8840 The feature allowing to interrupt clients accessing volumes the fileserver is trying to take offline will go in. Gerrit 6266 + 10799 The default sync behavior of the fileserver will be changed from -sync=delayed to -sync=never [or maybe rather onclose?]. No gerrit change yet. == Status of other items foreseen for 1.6.7 == Marc's patch for the Linux getcwd ENOENT problem (see RT #131780 and references therein) was successfully tested at MIT, on servers frequently exhibiting the problem without this patch, and should go in. Gerrit 10804, needs review. [the remainder of this text is 1.6.7 bookeeping] Idledead change to help the "no buffer space available" problem: Gerrit 10773 ist still being reviewed on master.
