=== Highlights === * Got further feedback from DaveC on the volatile ranges work. I need to rework the patch significantly to use the falloc interface instead of fadvise in order to allow the functionality to be more generic and implementable on a per-filesystem basis (as there are lots of fs specific tricks that can be used). Despite his insistence that I rework it, he did say that he was interested in seeing the functionality added, since he has some ideas for how it can be used w/ xfs. Started the process of figuring out how to refactor the code to be per-fs, ideally without rewriting most of it.
* Further review and quite a bit of discussion around community CLOCK_TAI groundwork and improved leapsecond processing. Also got into a big discussion with a researcher on UTC-SLS (smoothed leap second) which allows applications to avoid the nasty leapsecond by smearing it over ~15 minutes. All interesting, but getting both features to not conflict and work together will be interesting. Submitted a example RFC of how I'd like to see CLOCK_TAI implemented.
* Wrote up some blueprints for possible future Android related work focusing on debugging technology.https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+spec/android-debugging
* Reported a compile bug w/ omap-usb-host.c caused by a not-so-recent commit. The proper fix was merged shortly there after.
* Updated linaro-android-3.4 tree and made a few corrections at Andrey's request.
=== Plans === * Continue reworking volatile ranges to use fadvise.
* Will be on vacation from May 9th-16th.
=== Issues === NA
