So, back to your concerns - what do you want to see in linux-next? My practice for the SELinux #next branch has been to apply patches on top of the latest "major" release from Linus, e.g. 3.15, and when a new major release is made I merge it into #next and restart the process. I generally send James' a pull request in the -rc6/7 timeframe using the #next branch. While this has resulted in some ugliness (see above comments) it keeps the SELinux #next branch steady so others can pull from it without major problems.

OK, you should probably base your tree on -rc1 or 2, that way all your stuff for the previous merge window is upstream and you don't need to worry about it any more. As for your current tree, it contains the following commits: (1) 5c7001b84be5 SELinux: use ARRAY_SIZE (2) aa65506f198c selinux, kbuild: remove unnecessary $(hostprogs-y) from clean-files 170b5910d9fb Merge tag 'v3.15' into next (3) 47dd0b76ace9 selinux: conditionally reschedule in hashtab_insert while loading selinux policy (4) 612c353178c4 selinux: conditionally reschedule in mls_convert_context while loading selinux policy (5) 4f189988a0a5 selinux: reject setexeccon() on MNT_NOSUID applications with -EACCES (6) 626b9740fa73 selinux: Report permissive mode in avc: denied messages. 6d32c850621b Merge tag 'v3.14' into next (7) eee3094683fb selinux: correctly label /proc inodes in use before the policy is loaded (8) 0909c0ae999c selinux: put the mmap() DAC controls before the MAC controls (9) 81c94e76ce8e selinux: fix the output of ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl for SELinux 41be702a542a Merge tag 'v3.13' into next 1 and 2 are new 3 is in Linus' tree as commit ed1c96429a6a 4 9a591f39a9d1 5 5b589d44fad1 6 ca7786a2f916 7 f64410ec6654 8 and 9 are subsumed by something in Linus' tree. So every time I merge your tree into linux-next I get duplicates (whcih can cause conflicts if there are other changes to the same areas of the the files effected). Also, if James really merged you tree (i.e. with a "git pull" or "git fetch; get merge") then we would end up with duplicates in his tree (and then Linus' tree). I can see that part of the problem this time round is that Serge cherry-picked (or rebased) your commits 3-6 above onto James' tree before asking Linus to pull. So, the easiest way for you to clean up from this is to now rebase onto v3.16-rc1 (which will leave you with just commits 1 and 2) and then ensure that in the future James (or whoever is handling the security tree) pulls your tree (and doesn't cherry-pick the patches). Then after that has happened, you can fast forward your tree onto that upstream tree, or wait until the next -rc1 and fast forward to that. I hope that is sort of clear and makes some sense? (As an aside, if you do a git pull on a tag, it will create a merge commit even if it doesn't need to, so for example doing "git merge <tag from Linus' tree after your commits are merged upstream>" will create a merge rather than just fast forwarding.) -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread

I want to avoid use a -rcX release as the foundation of any of my trees; the - rc releases aren't as stable and it goes against what we're trying to do with the different Linux Security trees. Unfortunately, based on what I've read above, this seems to be incompatible with linux-next. While I hate to split my development branch from the #next branch, it seems like that is the only way to accomplish both a reasonably current and stable development tree and get the patches into linux-next. Unless you, or anyone else for that matter, has a different suggestion I'm going to go ahead and turn the current SELinux #next branch into a development branch and create a new #next branch that will be based on the most current -rc1, this new #next branch will be created new for each major release.

The problem with basing your development for v3.17 on v3.15 is that you do not take into account any of the changes done by others during v3.16-rc1 (or even your upstream tree) some of which may be core API changes. > While I hate to split my development branch from the #next branch, it seems I don't want that either ... > like that is the only way to accomplish both a reasonably current and stable > development tree and get the patches into linux-next.

That would not actually change anything (except that you would possibly take care of some conflicts for me). At the core, what is in linux-next should just be exactly what will be merged by your upstream. My real point here is that that is not what has happened recently. The patches in your tree have been cherry-picked or rebased into James' or Serge's trees, not merged so we now have duplication.

The duplicates were the result of several misunderstandings and general naivity all on my part. I'm actually still not clear on what usually happens with the selinux tree - it feeds into linux-next, then gets 'pull'ed by James into security-next for a pull request?

The way I currently do things - merge the latest major release on top of the existing #next and then start applying the new #next patches - does leave the SELinux tree a bit behind when it comes to other subsystems, but it does at least include all of the SELinux relevant patches. I'll admit it isn't perfect, but it seems to work reasonably well for SELinux development, and it was the process used by the previous SELinux maintainer. > > While I hate to split my development branch from the #next branch, it > > seems > > I don't want that either ... > > > like that is the only way to accomplish both a reasonably current and > > stable development tree and get the patches into linux-next.

Sort of, I would basically create a new #next branch for linux-next which would be created fresh from the latest -rc1 and I would cherry-pick the patches for linux-next from my development branch. It would be a bit of a mess to be honest, but I'm trying to reconcile the SELinux development needs/wants with the linux-next needs/wants. > At the core, what is in linux-next should just be exactly what will be > merged by your upstream. That has been, and remains the goal for me as well. However, there have been a number of problems with this in the past, even excluding the latest merge window; I believe these past problems are what you are seeing now. I am hopeful that these issues are behind us now, at least for the most part. > My real point here is that that is not what has happened recently.

This issue has been solved with James a few months ago, this merge window was actually on track to go off without a problem, and it sorta did, but there were some out-of-band issues which caused some confusion in the linux-security world. Let's try to move on a bit, discussing why the SELinux #next branch has some cruft in it doesn't help us resolve things since we all acknowledge there were problems for a while that should now be resolved ... Stephen, assuming for a moment that I created a fresh branch, based against 3.15, and then added the SELinux patches for 3.16 (basically the few new patches that were in the ole #next branch) would that serve as a reasonable basis for a new SELinux #next branch? Around the -rc5/6/7 timeframe I would send a pull request to James to pull from this next branch into the Linux Security branch for 3.17. Once 3.16 is released, I would merge that into this new #next branch and continue with the next round of patches. FYI, more or less, the above is the process we've settled upon for all of the trees that get accumulated into the Linux Security tree. -- paul moore www.paul-moore.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread

He has some duplicate commits in his tree now and Linus will get a few more when he next pulls James' tree. We just need to avoid this going forward. And given that James or Serge will, from now on, *pull* your tree (not cherry-pick from it), things should be fine. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 819 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread

Ummm, yesterday your security tree (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security.git#next) moved from commit 2fd4e6698f08 ("Merge branch 'smack-for-3.16' of git://git.gitorious.org/smack-next/kernel into next") (which is included in v3.16-rc1) to commit f01387d26938 ("Merge commit 'v3.15' into next"). The commit between those 2 commits is 92953ff38ba5 ("Merge branch 'next' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/selinux into next"). -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 819 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread
