Thanks to apw and smb for patch pilot work done on the bugs with patches so far.
Wow we had more effect than I expected!
=== Blueprints: Natty Bug Handling ===
There are a number of items in various stages of flight. I will be following up
with those parties I am holding for information on, but I will begin
aggressively closing these items.
=== Blueprints: Kernel Configuration Review ===
PV on HVM support (XEN_PCI_PLATFORMDEV) testing is mow complete. The only other
remaining action here currently is to report on the final config at beta time,
this is waiting on the final kernel version.
=== Blueprints: Enhancements to the firmware test suite ===
Changes to fwts (natty development branch):
* add uefidump to dump out annotated uefi vars from /sys/firmware/efi/vars
* fix cmosdump hex dump (it was dumping too much data)
* klog test: add test to check for "Denied AML access to ports"
* add -s4-min-delay, --s4-max-delay, --s4-delay-delta options
=== Blueprints: Review of the Stable Maintenance Process (sconklin / bjf) ===
Nothing new
=== Status: Cert. Team ===
So, I need to cover a couple of things today. The first one is the SRU testing
for Maverick and Lucid.
Lucid is looking well, we have already covered 62 of the scheduled 75 systems, and we haven't found any regressions on those. Maverick, we have covered 67 systems of the 75 that we have scheduled. Same thing, so far, we haven't found any regressions. I
would like to point out that we are now using the SRU test suite that Jeff put together.
As usual, you can check the progress of our testing at:
We want to finish testing Lucid today, to be able to have CDs from -updates as
soon as possible. We will follow up the tracker bugs once we are done.
The second thing I wanted to cover is those bugs that are blocking
certification for some of the systems that should be certified for 11.04. The
list of those bugs can be retrieved at:
Please, check the list to avoid those bugs be forgotten.

Why is bug #686333 on that list? Isn't that a wishlist item?
* [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/686333|Launchpad bug 686333 in linux (Ubuntu Natty)
"include Realtek RTL8192ce driver in Ubuntu" [Medium,Triaged] ]]
tgardner, it is a work that HWE did in 10.04 and that should get back to Ubuntu
before 11.04.
(apw) ara is that for natty yes ? CONFIG_RTL8192CE=m ... i suspect we may have
it in the next upload
=== Blueprints: Ubuntu Kernel Delta Review ===
All 19 of the 19 personal patch reviews are now done, and all of the outcomes
applied. Some work remains on compcache which is now superceeded by zram in
staging, but some userspace work is required to switch to it.
=== Blueprints: Kernel Version and Flavours ===
Nothing new.
=== Status: Ecryptfs ===
- moved underlying fs checks to mount time
- fixed uninitialized value bug
- fixed bug where using interposed dentry value before dentry was interposed
- fixed unencoded shortname being containing invalid values (/\000) this would
cause problem with older versions of ecryptfs if they tried to list the files
in the directory
- experimenting with Graceful fallback, where shortname can be used regardless
of longname xattr - this allows
- graceful fallback if longname xattr is missing
- older versions of ecryptfs to mount dirs with longname xattrs, though the
longname xattrs may become wrong then
- still need to deal with:
- collision of shortnames with
- other shortnames
- plaintext pass through files
- refcounting of shared xattr name, or making xattr name uniq to dir +
shortname

<<BR>>
Question: Are upstream taking your patches?
<<BR>>
Answer: I am going to post out the latest to ecryptfs mailing list today, and
am hoping to push out to LKML later this week.
=== Status: Natty ===
The main distro kernel remains at 2.6.37-12.26 (v2.6.37 final based). We are about to upload a v2.6.38-rc2 + git based kernel, this seems to be the first mostly stable version. Much testing will be needed. Good progress the last couple of weeks on
work-items, and we are close to caught up for alpha-2 and well below the line overall.

We've entered the testing phase of the current kernel cycle. The next cycle
timing may
be affected by the Lucid .2 release, but the stable kernel team will proceed as
normal
and produce kernels for -proposed.
<<BR>>
<<BR>>
We encountered a regression in the Maverick -proposed kernel that affected user
with
Radeon hardware. The offending patch was identified and reverted, and the new
kernel
in -proposed has been verified to be fixed. This is the bug for that issue:

=== Incoming Bugs: Bug day report ===
The next bug day will be on Tuesday next week. I have sent out the e-mail for
it and I will also be blogging to our team voices page.
=== Triage Status ===
We have gotten a lot of help from various people in the #ubuntu-bugs channel. I'd like to thank charlie-tca specifically and several others in there whose nicks escape me at the moment for directing questions about kernel bugs to me. There have also been a
ton of requests through irc to look at specific bugs. In those cases, and many like them, I am directing folks to the bug triage pages of our wiki. I hope that some of these folks will become regular triagers, but that remains to be seen. :)
=== Open Discussion or Questions ===
* David Henningsson asked about the status of the "document derivative
flavour" work item. Andy reported that
it is still on his list but not done and not a high priority. They took the
discussion to the #ubuntu-kernel
irc channel to hash it out some more.
