Hi all, Now that we are talking about branching for 1.8, I figured it would be worth going through those one-off patches I've had sitting in gerrit for a while awaiting review, and see which ones are worth revisiting and rebasing/polishing to get in before the branch. Feedback from gatekeepers in particular about which ones they'll have enough time to look at is quite welcome, as well as general feedback about the merits of the changes themselves. (I suspect other people have some patches floating around in this state, too; go ahead and send your own lists.)
9918 (Remove FOREIGN): Removes client code to display data in a pts entry somehow relating to foreign users. Probably requires too much analysis time to be worth it. 10338 (Update 'now' when raising events): Some rx_event tweaks to update our sense of the current time while processing events, in case we have a lot or they take a while. I no longer remember whether I had an operational issue that prompted this patch, and jhutz notes that some other places probably need adjustment as well. Might be more effort than it's worth given a deadline. 10528 (rx: Named values for securityObjectStats types): Some general cleanup to avoid having magic constants scattered throughout the tree. 10531 (Fix some nits around the symlink VOP): Tweaks to variable names to match the general practice, and whitespace cleanup. 10579 (Restore marker when scrolled past end of UserList): Fix a minor regression. 10840-10843 (use hcrypto for rx epoch/cid): This set of commits brings the rx epoch/cid generation into the core rx code, instead of relying on rxkad to do it for us the first time it is used. To do this, we need to insure that we have a source of random numbers for use by rx in the kernel, which is not currently the case (some platforms have implementations that just panic). Also includes some additional cleanup that the core change makes possible. I think we should try to get this in pre-branch. 10950 (Disallow creating users with ANONYMOUSID): Seems to have broad support. 10989-10992 (data stream protection for bos clients): Support for using integrity protection and/or encryption for privileged RPCs, reducing somewhat the attacks available to a man in the middle on a superuser's connection. 11139 (export some kauth symbols for libadmin sample apps): Another one that is not verified due to being on top of 11138. Needed for 11095, the next one. 11095 (Remove a couple more uses of libafsauthent.a): The current version didn't build on some platforms because it's on top of 11138 which needs more work); a rebased version without that dependency would probably be okay. The changes are only in sample/test code, so may not be worth the effort right away. 11323 (Sort libtool symbol files): Seems like a no-brainer. 11324 (Use a better version for Debian export symbols): Not terribly relevant since Debian has its own packaging repo, but more Correct. 11380 (Attempt to clean up tvolser dependencies): A bit more recent than the others. Just some general cleanup of make dependencies. I skip the really recent ones from the past few days, as those may yet get attention on their own. -Ben _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list OpenAFS-devel@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
