Hi all,
I am going through the Linaro kernel bug backlog to wrap my head around the status of what that the kernel and landing team has been working on. I made some simple notes for myself and want some input from folks who've been involved longer to understand what should be closed, what should remain open, and what should be re-prioritized based on deliverables as we start up the 11.11 cycle so please speak up with any thoughts. Some of these bugs have no assignees and since I still need to figure out what everyone's availability and skill set is, please speak up if there's a bug you are called to take.
Mounir, I think it'd be good for you and I to sit down towards the end of LDS next week and do a review of all kernel bugs.
Starting with http://goo.gl/6k7GS - Importance field not set
645663 2.6.35-1006-linaro-omap occasional oops during boot This was opened in September of last year on a very old kernel, should be closed?
754247 2.6.38 halts under heavy load This looks like it should be a medium priority bug and needs to be reproduced on a single board with serial console logged running latest Linaro kernel.
754248 Processes do not distribute across cores when running CoreMark Related to WIP code for TI Panda board, needs re-testing with CPU_FREQ disabled to validate. Importance should be low as it is a mostly known issue and possibly needs to just be marked a dup if we already have a bug tracking the CPU_FREQ development?
776856 uboot won't boot until running 'mmc part 0' Needs to be tested/reproduced on latest U-Boot by John. I consider this a low priority bug as developer's can still boot a board by running 'mmc part 0'.
Next, we have http://goo.gl/kfk7L - High and Medium priority bugs.
754254 imx51 randomly truncates serial input at 31 characters Probably trivial to fix, just needs someone with HW to fix it. Probably someone from landing team?
615972 Neon registers missing in core files In progress, patches merged into Linaro trees and headed upstream.
720055 CONFIG_OMAP2_DSS_SDI on OMAP4 causes... Issue is resolved in linux-linaro-omap. Does it need to be pulled into Nicolas' tree to close out the linux-linaro component?
754254 imx51 randomly truncates serial input at 31 characters Needs to be assigned to someone, likely in the Freescale Landing Team?
615974 Interrupted system call handling Patch is in Linaro tree, needs submitting to RMK's patch system.
660639 twl driver failed to transfer msgs etc Patch has been submitted upstream by Andy that possibly fixes the issue but needs to be retested by Tom, original submitter and then likely added to Linaro kernel tree if not already merged.
709245 panda: USB disk IO slow Was assigned to Mian, will re-assign to Venkat.
712025 asoc: interface omap-mcbsp-dai hw params failed Patch sent upstream, needs merging into Linaro kernel.
712175 OMAP Beagle C4: kernel does not reliably find SD card on boot No update since April 04, probably want to retest on latest kernel.
717677 wifi is not recognized in latest netbook image on IGEP v2 No update since March 21st. Does this need testing on latest kernel?
762026 Problem with SMP IRQ affinity Known issue, needs an assignee to fix.
768680 Boot does not complete on IGEP with Device Tree Currently assigned to Grant. Grant, do you have time to dig into this or should we reassign to someone else with access to HW?
