Development

Development Wish List

Linux 6.9

Changes will be needed to support Linux 6.9.

As Linux 6.9 is still in development, there could be additional patches needed in the future.

  • 15708 Linux-6.9: file_lock mbrs moved to file_lock_core Linux's file_lock structure has been reorganized with some members moved into a new structure.

Other development wish list

  • 14731 viced: Set HashTable size at startup Performance
  • topic:connleaks Fixes a leak of client rx_connections
  • topic unoquorum Ensures that elections operate correctly by enforcing rx timeout invariants

Stable Wish List

The following changes from master address a crash in the cache manager:

  • 13804 afs: avoid panic in DNew when afs_WriteDCache fails
  • 13802 afs: remove redundant assignment
  • 13801 dir: check DNew return code
  • 13800 dir: check afs_dir_Create return code in afs_dir_MakeDir
  • 13799 dir: check afs_dir_MakeDir return code in DirSalvage
  • 13798 dir: distinguish logical and physical errors on reads
  • 13803 afs: refactor directory checking in DRead

The following changes are targeted for a stable backport. These changes are still in review for the master branch and require additional reviews.

  • 14876 LINUX: Test for rcu_read_unlock with rcu_read_lock Fixes rcu_read_lock configure check.
  • 12612 afsd: Correctly detect invalid cache dirs Fixes a crash if the afsd parameters are changed and the cache is not removed.
  • topic:rxstat-local Add rxstat -localauth option so the stat gathering utils can be run easily on a server.
  • 13376 bozo: mark failed bnodes as stopped/shutdown Fix bos stop hang when simple bnode process fails.
  • 15158 rx: Use atomics for rx_securityClass refcounts Fix crash due to missing rx data field lock.

Master branch gerrits are needed for building OpenSUSE packages (would be nice to get these into 1.8.x)

  • 14115 make-release: Create output directory if needed Has been merged into master
  • 14148 make-release: Clean up whitespace and spelling Has been merged into master
  • 14566 make-release: create SHA256 checksums too Still in review for master

Next Stable Version - 1.10.x

Proposed gerrits for creating the next stable version:

Open Stable commits for review (next stable release)

1.8.12 open openafs-stable-1_8_x

The following have commits have been submitted for the next the 1.8.x (includes Linux 6.8 support):

The current top commit is 15736
