Hi Saul, Haitao, Shuicheng, Thank you for your hard work and positive response. As you suggested in the last StarlingX non-OpenStack distro meeting, Our team should use Google Docs Or gitHub to show our progress and results in a more real-time way. Recently, we have moved our work and progress reports to Github. The StarlingX kernel version to CentOS 4.18 work path is as follows: https://github.com/StarlingX-Neusoft/Centos8 During the porting process, we will update our real-time Q&A information in the documents (StarlingX_CentOS8.0_Kernel_Upgrade_Q&A List.xls). We hope that the experts in the community can check the problems we have when you have time. If you can get your advice, we will be very honored. Thank you！ ① >>Can you explain what you are referring to when you say Patch4000*, I >>don't know which ones they map to?

Hi StarlingX Community:
Regarding the task of upgrading the StarlingX kernel version to CentOS 4.18.
Completed Task： 1. GCC compiler version upgrade --> GCC version 8.2.1 2. Kernel 4.18 with starlingX patch compilation has been completed.(Patch40004,Patch40007,Patch40008)
Can you explain what you are referring to when you say Patch4000*, I don't know which ones they map to?
Doing Task: 1. src rpm package el8 upgrade(if there is el8 version) Do you mean "Binary RPM" here? We should be trying to use the latest binary RPMs from CentOS-8 (el8).
2. If there is no el8 version of SRPM compilation failed, we need to build a patch fix it. We want to fully understand what patches are changing or what additional patches you think you need to add.
3. Configure kernel 4.18 config file with reference to STX kernel 3.10 config file (kernel-3.10.0-x86_64.config.tis_extra)
4. For the el8 version SRPM package that fails to be compiled, the RPM package of the el8 version is preferentially searched for replacement.
Please see the attachment for the results of the advancement
We need a better method to understand what changes are getting made between these spreadsheet changes. I am not understanding your actual changes. Thanks Sau!
Thank you!

Please find attached the spreadsheet analyzing the Kernel patches to the existing CentOS 3.10 kernel.
As mentioned, most of the patches can be dropped, except for the Notification of Death patch.
My understanding is that changes have been made to StarlingX to support the Workqueue CPU affinity model with isolcpus instead of the kthread model that is in the 3.10 kernel. If this is actually the case then we can drop the cpu affinity related patches also. (this would be a good thing).
Don't hesitate to reach out and ask for help with the kernel and/or CentOS 8 User space updates.
Sau!

Agenda & notes for 10/16 meeting:

Ceph containerization update (Tingjie) https://review.opendev.org/#/c/681457/ this is for Helm chart definition, can be review now. https://review.opendev.org/#/c/687340/ for Helm overrides framework, need to extend later. verified in AIO and multi-node provision. configuration needs to be override according to STX parameters. Martin working on this for parameters to align w/ the native deployment. for stx.3.0: only to merge the implantation for Helm chart and override framework. and rook-plugin which support sysinv, this can co-exist w/ current native ceph deployment. test case development is in progress, Tingjie will sync with Fernando. for sysinv, still need to working on patches, not ready for upload/review. AR: Tingjie to send email to the mailing list for the current status & planning for include partial implementation without impacting the native Ceph functionality.
. Debranding update (Saul) Starting from the tools repo, the tools in the build area to debrand the mirroring process. Part of this is for ease of use for build steps. Very early stage. Not fit in stx.3.0 scope. https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2006387, call volunteer from the community.
. CentOS 8 upgrade planning (Cindy) CentOS 8.0 2 stories created: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2006728, the kernel inside CentOS 8 is 4.18, there is no RT kernel. https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2006729 Shuai is working on new kernel onto build system. Need to understand each patches. there was an earlier analysis for kernel patches available. AR: Saul please share this analysis to Shuai. against 4.19 kernel some long time ago. See https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nKnkweuxcqvVOoRcpnTYMVUUv1RoAu gOWXMjB7VIrfc/edit#gid=311578025 Tab Kernel Patches Details https://github.com/xe1gyq/linux/commits/v4.19 https://github.com/xe1gyq/linux/commits/v4.18 AR: Shuai to provide an Excel sheet to compare RPM/sRPM in StarlingX and in CentOS 8.0
