=3D=3D Changes merged or cleared for merging during the meeting =3D=3D

10096   Do not expose afs_assert.h from other public headers

In addition, all changes from the backlog listed in the agenda and =
appended below, will be merged around the time of the next meeting, =
unless objections are raised in gerrit.

=3D=3D Linux client, 1.6.5.1 release =3D=3D

Linux 3.11 was released, and it does require another change. Marc =
submitted gerrit 10219, yet to be merged on master and pulled up.

For somewhat timely support of this kernel in a stable OpenAFS release, =
we'll create 1.6.5.1 . Since a lot of other changes were merged on the =
1.6.x branch already, we need a separate branch for this release =
(presumably at at 0c5afac) . Stephan will ask Simon for the branch.

=3D=3D Open bugs to fix in 1.6.6 =3D=3D

=3D=3D=3D Salvager segfault recently reported on openafs-info =3D=3D=3D
Should be fixed by gerrit 10165, which still needs review.

=3D=3D=3D RT #131716: comerr checks in 1.6 don't do what aklog expects =
=3D=3D=3D
Discussion in RT ongoing. No fix available yet. Probably not a =
regression.

=3D=3D=3D Linux keyring problems reported by Christof =3D=3D=3D
Fixes available in gerrit 10179/10194. Should be included in 1.6.6.

=3D=3D=3D Salvager problem reported recently on info =3D=3D=3D
Fixes available in gerrit 10213/14. The former one fixes a regression. =
Not critical though, since it's unclear how a vice partition could ever =
get into a state triggering the bugs.

=3D=3D Changes needing more review =3D=3D
Andrew pointed out that he considers these important for 1.6.6, but they =
still lack review:

10165: salvager: prevent assertion during -orphans attach.
10167: DAFS: Remove AFS_DEMAND_ATTACH_UTIL
