Some backlight patches for the Fedora kernel
by Hans de Goede 12 Jan '15

12 Jan '15

Hi Josh, Attached are 3 patches for the current F-21 kernel, fixing various backlight issues. All 3 have been sent upstream, and patch 2 is already upstream, so likely not needed for rawhide. Together these 3 patches fix: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1094948 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1115713 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1163574 Can you please add these to the Fedora kernel builds? Regards, Hans

When can I skip make clean in a kernel bisect?
by Bruno Wolff III 10 Jan '15

10 Jan '15

I am getting near the end of a kernel bisect and the changes are pretty localized and suspect that I really don't need to do make clean between builds which would really speed things up. Is there a guideline on when it is safe to skip make clean?

Probable issue with older nVidia cards with 3.19 kernels
by Bruno Wolff III 09 Jan '15

09 Jan '15

I tested 3.19.0-0.rc3.git0.1.fc22 on three machines and the boot hung pretty early on one of them. The video mode didn't change when it normally would have shortly before it hung. However the output had scrolled past where I might have seen an error message. This makes me suspect that this is an issue with Nouveau and nv28s. I had another machine that has an nv50 boot a mainline kernel from around rc1 which would have the Nouveau changes, so if it is a Nouveau probelm it only affects a subset of cards. I'll look at doing some testing on the machine to see if the problem is really in the changes to Nouveau support in the kernel, but not tonight.

Rawhide 3.19 schedule-ish
by Josh Boyer 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

Hi All, The 3.19 merge window has been open for a bit over a week now. As you've (maybe) noticed, rawhide continues to be on the 3.18 kernel. Last week the kernel team was travelling and handling a merge window while travelling is recipe for disaster (and/or insanity). That means that this would be the week to start landing merge window builds. However, most of us will be on PTO for the end of December, which would leave rawhide in a somewhat untidy state. Even getting to -rc1 and then disappearing for an extended time doesn't seem all that pleasant. For now, we'll leave rawhide tracking the 3.18.y releases and pick up the 3.19-rcX kernels when we return. I will send a call for testing once we start rebasing again. Until then, a special present to you will be a bit of (maybe unwanted) stability. If you have any questions/comments, please let us know. josh

3.19 kernel for rawhide?
by Bruno Wolff III 03 Jan '15

03 Jan '15

Are you guys planning to move rawhide to 3.19 when the Holiday break is over or wait until after f21 is on 3.18 to get additional testing of 3.18?
