eas-test branch ci failed

by Alex Shi

Hi Fathi, I just updated the eas-test branch on https://git.linaro.org/kernel/eas-backports.git But the dashboard said deploy linaro kernel failed: https://validation.linaro.org/dashboard/streams/public/team/linaro/eas/bund… And I didn't find the eas on https://ci.linaro.org/view/kernel-ci/ or lsk-ci. Guess I miss sth, could you lead me to right ci or testing url? Thanks&Regards! Alex

Updates to cpu capacity consolidation patches in the backports tree

by Amit Kucheria

Hi Alex, In 4.1-rc1, several patches (see 36ee28e4 onwards) related to cpu capacity consolidation were merged. It would be a good idea to refresh the eas-backport tree so that these patches are cherry-picked directly from mainline into stable/sched-upstream branch and their equivalent versions in stable/sched-core are removed. Regards, Amit
