Hi Paul,
I'm sad to see this RC1 still missing patch:

https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2020-06/msg00179.html

The following even have the release-ack and yet are also missing:

https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2020-06/msg00025.html
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2020-06/msg00028.html

Without these patches I won't be testing or upgrading to 4.14 at all.

Thanks,
Tamas

Hi Tamas,

  I don't see an ack for that one as yet. I'm happy to check and release-ack once the final patch is agreed.

  These are indeed acked and release-acked and I trust they will make the next RC.

Ideally this one requires an Ack from the VMX maintainers, which
hasn't happened AFAICT. Might be worth trying to ping them on the patch
by putting them on the To field.

Alternatively we can consider pushing it without such Ack if the x86
maintainers agree.

Roger.

I would likely do so once the time we usually see Kevin reply has
expired, but we're not past that point yet.
