Hi all,
Thanks all for joining!
Kaviraj: my apologies -- when someone new joins we do a round of
introductions at the beginning of the meeting, but this time we did it
at the end (but you had already left). If you join next meeting, I
will make sure we do the introductions first! :-)
Updated schedule:
- We are still targeting the 5th for the RFC. We can delay a week if
we feel it is needed.
- We will be adding a few things to the RFC:
+ Some of the PRs in the queue.
+ ppc64le support.
+ Binder & a couple rust/kernel/ pieces for it.
* This does not necessarily mean Binder will go in the merge
window -- it is more to show in the RFC how an actual working module
looks like.
+ Move/split of "Rust example".
+ Kernel docs to be uploaded.
+ Unstable feature list to be updated.
Other topics & news discussed:
- Wedson joined as a maintainer!
- RFC:
+ The patches' split (preparation, Rust support, Binder).
+ Attribution, git-blame, kernel process, etc.
- `alloc`:
+ We will likely end up with our own equivalent in the kernel, but
this is medium-term. For the RFC and likely for the merge, we go with
`alloc`.
+ Ideally, this work could inform the Rust allocator WG!
- Locking: enforcing correct order/patterns (or at least disallowing
known-incorrect ones) via the type system or extra annotations.
Cheers,
Miguel
