Subject: Xen 4.2 TODO / Release Plan
Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2012 11:06:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1346148361.9975.3.camel@zakaz.uk.xensource.com> (raw)
Plan for a 4.2 release:
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-03/msg00793.html
The time line is as follows:
19 March -- TODO list locked down
2 April -- Feature Freeze
30 July -- First release candidate
Weekly -- RCN+1 until release << WE ARE HERE
Keir released 4.2.0 rc3 on Thursday. Please test.
The updated TODO list follows.
hypervisor, blockers:
* None
tools, blockers:
* libxl stable API -- we would like 4.2 to define a stable API
which downstream's can start to rely on not changing. Aspects of
this are:
* None known
* xl compatibility with xm:
* No known issues
* [CHECK] More formally deprecate xm/xend. Manpage patches already
in tree. Needs release noting and communication around -rc1 to
remind people to test xl.
* [CHECK] Confirm that migration from Xen 4.1 -> 4.2 works.
* Bump library SONAMES as necessary.
<20502.39440.969619.824976@mariner.uk.xensource.com>
* [BUG] qemu-traditional has 50% cpu utilization on an idle
Windows system if USB is enabled. Not 100% clear whether this is
Xen or qemu. George Dunlap is performing initial
investigations.
* Disable generation id from xl. Microsoft changed the
specification of this value between W8 beta and RC and we now
implement the old spec. Disable for 4.2 and revist implementing
hte new spec for 4.3. (Paul Durrant)
hypervisor, nice to have:
* [BUG(?)] Under certain conditions, the p2m_pod_sweep code will
stop halfway through searching, causing a guest to crash even if
there was zeroed memory available. This is NOT a regression
from 4.1, and is a very rare case, so probably shouldn't be a
blocker. (In fact, I'd be open to the idea that it should wait
until after the release to get more testing.)
(George Dunlap)
* S3 regression(s?) reported by Ben Guthro (Ben & Jan Beulich)
* fix high change rate to CMOS RTC periodic interrupt causing
guest wall clock time to lag (possible fix outlined, needs to be
put in patch form and thoroughly reviewed/tested for unwanted
side effects, Jan Beulich)
tools, nice to have:
* xl compatibility with xm:
* the parameter io and irq in domU config files are not
evaluated by xl. So it is not possible to passthrough a
parallel port for my printer to domU when I start the domU
with xl command. (reported by Dieter Bloms,
<20120814100704.GA19704@bloms.de>)
* xl.cfg(5) documentation patch for qemu-upstream
videoram/videomem support:
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-05/msg00250.html
qemu-upstream doesn't support specifying videomem size for the
HVM guest cirrus/stdvga. (but this works with
qemu-xen-traditional). (Pasi Kärkkäinen)
* [BUG] long stop during the guest boot process with qcow image,
reported by Intel: http://bugzilla.xen.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1821
(Done)
* [BUG] vcpu-set doesn't take effect on guest, reported by Intel:
http://bugzilla.xen.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1822
* Load blktap driver from xencommons initscript if available, thread at:
<db614e92faf743e20b3f.1337096977@kodo2>. To be fixed more
properly in 4.3. (Patch posted, discussion, plan to take simple
xencommons patch for 4.2 and revist for 4.3. Ping sent)
* [BUG] xl allows same PCI device to be assigned to multiple
guests. http://bugzilla.xen.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1826
(<E4558C0C96688748837EB1B05BEED75A0FD5574A@SHSMSX102.ccr.corp.intel.com>)
* address PoD problems with early host side accesses to guest
address space (Jan Beulich, DONE)
* fix ipxe build problems with gcc 4.7 (fedora 17).
The following files fail to build:
- ipxe/src/drivers/bus/isa.c
- ipxe/src/drivers/net/myri10ge.c
- ipxe/src/drivers/infiniband/qib7322.c
Patches have been posted to ipxe-devel mailinglist, so we need
to update our ipxe version or grab the patches. (DONE, Keir)
* "xl list -l" does not produce proper json. Should be possible to
make it into an array. Reported by Bastian Blank,
<20120814121741.GA10214@wavehammer.waldi.eu.org>. (Ian Campbell, DONE)
* "xl cpupool-create" segfault on incorrect input. Reported by
George Dunlap,
<CAFLBxZaEci0mOcDCgFX9zk=wh3z4Nf1LD5E5Fcy7Y3=ioDAM=g@mail.gmail.com>
(Ian Campbell, patch posted)
