Subject: Paravirt-ops VMI / Xen / lrustyvisor merge status
Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2007 21:28:18 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45CC0672.7090201@vmware.com> (raw)

So, as 2.6.21-rc1 is approaching, what is the upstream merge status for 
the paravirt-ops backends?  I believe VMI is in Andi's tree, plus or 
minus some bugfixes that are still being whittled in, but Andi, do you 
think the VMI code is in good shape for merging?

It would be nice for everyone to clarify their upstream plans - is the 
goal still to get Xen and lguest merged for the next kernel release?

Rusty, you mentioned you had a patchset to push, when do you expect to 
have it ready?

Chris / Jeremy - perhaps I missed it, but I haven't seen updated Xen 
paravirt-ops patches go out yet - is 2.6.21 still the merge target?

I don't want to be pushy, but I do want our code to get merged, and 
time's a ticking.  I think we're all in good shape, but the sooner the 
code all gets merged the sooner we can tackle the remaining cleanup / 
polishing tasks.  One of which is separating the paravirt-ops into GPL 
and non-GPL exports, which we need consensus on where the line is, but 
can't really achieve it until everyone is happy with the finalized set 
of paravirt-ops.  Any patch that tries to do this now would just cause 
rejects later and slow all of our merges.

Zach
