[Qemu-devel] Last call for 1.0.1 stable release

[Qemu-devel] Last call for 1.0.1 stable release

[Justin M. Forbes]

Due to the repository move, holidays and other bits, we are a bit late
getting out the door, but I want to get qemu 1.0.1 stable release done this
week.  We have a number of patches, but if you are sitting on anything or
close to finishing up something, please get all patches to
qemu-stable@nongnu.org by Wednesday Jan 11th to give time for testing
before the release is cut.

Thanks,
Justin

Could you be a bit more verbose, please? Currently, judging by
http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu-stable-1.0.git;a=summary (which seems to be
lacking a v1.0 tag), it seems like only a Malta fix is queued so far?

I'm new to the stable business but my expectation is that patches are
cherry-picked to the stable branch, if qualified, once applied to
master. I haven't seen any "Thanks, applied to stable-1.0 branch" reply
lately, but you're pinning 1.0.1 to a date already, leading to 1.0.1
getting either no testing (if you apply pending patches today/tomorrow)
or hardly any fixes (one applied 47 hours ago)...

Regards,
Andreas

The tree is currently updated with everything from my queue, and I have
already started some testing with what we have.  The expectation of
patches by Wednesday means that no patches received after that day will
be applied for 1.0.1 unless they are to fix a problem in what I have
received. Anything else will be applied toward 1.0.2.  Essentially we
have to make a release, and there is a good bit of testing required for
a release, so the tree has to freeze at some point for that to happen.

I would suggest cherry-picking the following commits that went through
my tree:

b9c5329 rbd: always set out parameter in qemu_rbd_snap_list
3763f26 Documentation: Add qemu-img -t parameter in man page
87a1b3e qemu-img rebase: Fix for undersized backing files
39a7a36 coroutine: switch per-thread free pool to a global pool
bd83b36 qiov: prevent double free or use-after-free
