linux-cr: ckpt-v23-rc2 pushed

[Oren Laadan]

Hi,

I finally merged all the recent patches and bug fixes, including hugetlb
and pids-as-objects. I pushed it as ckpt-v23-rc2 - both linux-cr and user-cr.
It applies on top of 2.6.37.

It passes all my testing here. I'd be happy with more testing and for more
architectures (PPC and ARM are still out until I receive updated patchsets).

If you notice that I left out a patch/fix, please let me know.

Thanks,

Oren.

Do you have a checklist you can share?

I'll kick off a build hopefully tonight.

Has anyone else had some thoughts on how to start on automated testing?
Should we take a look at jenkins?  Does anyone have some hardware they
can dedicate?  I think it would be a reasonable start to do crosscompile
builds for each support arch, with and without CR, and to fire off
qemu VMs for each arch just for a standard set of c/r tests (presumably
the ones under user-cr/tests) - and do that once per day.   If it fails,
auto-fetch a list of commits since last success.

Have you had a chance to look at Matt's unlinked files patches yet?  I
know you were very interested in those at one point.  I believe we're
still hunting for a big memory leak, so I'd be interested to hear if you
can reproduce it as well.

Thanks!

Given that there have already been 3 -stable releases I was thinking it
seems reasonable to move on to 2.6.38 for -rc3. What do you think?

Cheers,

That'd be nice.  OTOH, the ckpt-v23-rc2 compiled fine for me both kernel
and userspace.  I haven't had time to test yet - hopefully sometime this
week.  Anyone is welcome to use the packages of course, at ppa:appcr/ppa.

Yes, and I'll post reviews shortly.

As for the memory leak, is there a specific test program (plus
instructions) to reproduce it ?

The tests in user-cr, and the tests from tests-cr (the latter I had
to modify a bit to work in my environment).

All sounds good. Let me know how I can help.
I may be able to host a few VMs for testing at Columbia.

Dan: can you give it a test-drive through IBM's test suite ?
(also, any progress with that ?)

Thanks,

Oren.

Too late for rc3, will do that for rc4.
Transition should be easy, I can take on it.

Wah .... too much jetlag :(
Will definitely do for rc3 !
