From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Len Brown Subject: ACPI bug/patch flow, and current RESOLVED bug list Date: 04 Nov 2004 18:11:02 -0500 Message-ID: <1099609861.13837.422.camel@d845pe> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: acpi-devel-admin-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f@public.gmane.org Errors-To: acpi-devel-admin-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f@public.gmane.org List-Unsubscribe: , List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: To: ACPI Developers List-Id: linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org When a bug is marked RESOLVED in bugzilla, http://bugzilla.kernel.org/buglist.cgi?product=ACPI it means that there is a patch available in the bug report. If the patch looks good and has seen some review and unit testing, I check it into our test tree: http://linux-acpi.bkbits.net/26-latest-test You are encouraged to run this tree and report any issues you find. Andrew Morton periodically pulls that tree into the -mm patch where it sees broader testing. If nothing breaks, then I push 26-latest-test into http://linux-acpi.bkbits.net/26-latest-release export a plain patch here: http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/patches/release/ and request Linus pull it into his tree. Note that these plain patches for 26-latest-release are obsolete as soon as Linus pulls into his tree, but the plain patches under 26-stable-release directory are available to allow running the latest ACPI patch on the latest released kernel.org kernel. (currently 26-stable-release is 2.6.8.1 based, but momentarily i'll be updating it to be 2.6.9-based since that has been the latest release for a few days now) After a patch is in the Linus's tree, I CLOSE the bug. ----------- I've just CLOSED all the RESOLVED bugs that shipped in 2.6.9. There are 16 RESOLVED bugs left, listed below. Some need review and unit test. Others I've already checked into 26-latest-test and are already in the -mm tree. Please be aware of these patches and be encouraged to test, review, and comment on them. I understand and appreciate some people's preference to conduct all debugging and patch activity on the mailing list. However, with the broad scope and high volume on the Linux/ACPI effort, bugzilla's ability to focus and archive debugging sessions as well as track patch origin and status is extremely useful. If you'd like to stay appraised of the activity in bugzilla there are several methods. You can have your bugzilla account "watch" the activity of the default category owners. eg. acpi_config-other-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org owns category ACPI, component "config-other". Or you can subscribe to acpi-bugzilla-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f@public.gmane.org which watches all components in category ACPI, and is added to the cc: list when an individual takes ownership of a bug from the default owner. http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla Thanks for your help in constantly improving Linux/ACPI! -Len --- 1744 AE_BAD_PARAMETER returned from ec address space handler. needs review 1944 ACPI Extensions for Display Adapters applied 2109 poweroff regression @ hwsleep 1.21 - ACPICA 20031203 needs review & root cause 2280 C1 uses "halt" instead of "monitor/mwait" applied 2495 ACPI_BOOT should be disabled even if SMP is selected needs to be updated and re-applied 2560 C3 state with smp kernel results in APIC timer interrupt ... needs review 2842 enable C3 without using ARB_DIS feature needs review 3161 acpi processor module needs to stay loaded for powernow-k8 applied, but I don't like it 3164 remove dmi blacklists for HP machines applied 3175 irq 9: nobody cared!
