Subject: [virtio-comment] [virtio 1.3] Feature freeze has started
Date: Mon, 03 Jul 2023 14:41:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <874jml2mmb.fsf@redhat.com> (raw)

As outlined in
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio/202304/msg00036.html ff.,
as part of the release process for the 1.3 version of the virtio spec,
we have now entered feature freeze. This means:

***
By July 1st[3rd], all not yet integrated features that are targeting 1.3 need
to have at least a github issue open that is pointing to a patch (set)
on the list.
***

AFAICS, the list of features matching these criteria is the following:

https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/173 ("virtio-net:
support inner header hash")
  * this looks very close, with voting likely to start in the next
    couple of days

https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/167 ("Support
transitional device for PCIe VF")
  * I have not followed that one in detail, but it has been stated that
    this one should also be ready soon -- can people please confirm that
    this will be ready for inclusion in July?

https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/170 ("The size of
virtio_net_hdr struct are wrong when VIRTIO_NET_HASH_REPORT feature is
negotiated.")
 * Can someone please check the status of this? Looks like a patch is
   available, but no progress for a long time? Is this maybe interacting
   with the inner header hash feature?

Any others that I have missed?

I'd like to wrap this up in July; not a real problem if we spill over
a couple of days into August, but I'd really like to avoid delaying the
process for too much (it will take long enough already.)
