[Qemu-devel] Last call for release-critical fixes for 2.3...

[Qemu-devel] Last call for release-critical fixes for 2.3...

[Peter Maydell]

It looks like we have perhaps only a few more issues which need fixes
to go into 2.3, so what I'd like to do is hold rc3 until we have them
all fixed and then roll an rc3 which will with luck be our final
release (bar the version number).

Can people reply to this mail if they have things that need to go in?
So far I know about:
 * Stefan intends to submit a pullreq with a few patches tomorrow
 * some patches from Dirk to use memory_region_allocate_system_memory
   (though we've had several releases with this regression so it's
   not a huge deal if these don't make it)

Anything else?

thanks

I am still working on testing it, but I think '[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] aio: 
strengthen memory barriers for bottom half scheduling' is likely 
something that should go in rc3 if it is to be our final RC.

I am seeing a lot more missed completion notifications in my testing 
right now than I have even a month ago, so I am a little concerned.

I'm trying to reproduce with this patch /right now/ to confirm it fixes 
my problem; it at least fixes Paul Leveille's.

I noticed (through a recent build-after-update failure) that the
Netduino2 machine is using a QOM type *_soc and wanted to fix that...
Don't find my patch right now, will post a new one then.

Andreas

That is included in my pull request.

Did you find time to write a patch for this? I think that other
than this all the things I have on my must-fix-for-2.3 list have
patches on-list, so I'm optimistically thinking we could roll rc3
start of next week-ish...

thanks

Sorry, too many worse problems to fix... Sent now.

Right, I think that everything that I'm aware of that should be
fixed for 2.3 has now had a fix committed to master, so I'm planning
to tag rc3 this afternoon, and with a little luck we won't find
any other critical bugs in it...
