On the back of your review feedback in [0] I've been working on an implementation of a cooperative multitasking module for use in OVSDB. The goal of the work is to improve OVSDB's ability to maintain RAFT cluster communication even when it is performing long running tasks such as database schema conversion, processing of monitors and similar. I hereby request a freeze exception for this work. I have posted a RFC with the current state of the work [1], it is posted as RFC because I am still in a close loop with testing to close some cases where the time threshold is still overrun. I'll hopefully figure out the remaining places we need to yield to avoid these and then post a formal patch series with documented testing. 0: https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2023-December/410262.html 1: https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2024-January/410593.html -- Frode Nordahl > We should branch for version 3.3 in two weeks from now, on Wednesday, Jan 17. > With that, release should be on Friday, Feb 16. > > Best regards, Ilya Maximets. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
