+ <braunr> youpi: i don't remember exactly your answer when i asked about
+ considering the ext2 large store patch for merging
+ <youpi> there's just an API change that it introduces
+ <youpi> but otherwise I'd say we should just do it
+ <braunr> ok
+ <youpi> I've just checked the API change again
+ <youpi> it's simply adding a notify_on_evict parameter
+ <youpi> and a pager_notify_evict callback
+ <braunr> yes
+ <youpi> I'd say we mostly need to polish this
+ <youpi> ah, there is the same parameter on diskfs_start_disk_pager

+ <braunr> youpi: do we want EXT2FS_DEBUG defined upstream ?
+ <youpi> I don't really have an opinion on this
+ <youpi> stuffing it in the large store patch is not good of course
+ <youpi> I wonder whether we want it by default.
+ <braunr> it is currently defined by the patch
+ <braunr> (in the debian package i mean)
+ <youpi> I've just seen that yes
+ <braunr> i won't include it upstream, and if we decide to keep this
+ behaviour, we can add a patch just for that
+ <braunr> or a define
+ <braunr> err
+ <braunr> a configure option

+
+ <braunr> we're beginning to seriously lack ipv6 though
+ <youpi> what is the actual problem?
+ <youpi> (again)
+ <youpi> lack?
+ <youpi> we do have ipv6 working
+ <braunr> i couldn't have it work with public addresses
+ <youpi> uh?
+ <youpi> I believe it worked for me
+ <braunr> yes i told you a few months back
+ <gnu_srs> braunr reported recently that v6 did not work as expected?
+ <youpi> I don't remember about that (and my inbox neither)
+ <braunr> it was only on irc
+ <braunr> routing would be nice to have too
+ <braunr> the stack can do it but we lack the interface
+ <braunr> anyway, there would be benefits on working on it, but what we have
+ now is fine and again, there are priorities
+ <youpi> braunr: it seems ndp doesn't work indeed, I wonder why, it was
+ working for me
+ <braunr> that's what i found too
+ <braunr> there have been other additions to the ipv6 spec over time, i
+ don't know what else we might be lacking
+ <youpi> ndp is elder
+ <braunr> yes ndp isn't lacking
+ <youpi> and pfinet *does* actually do ndp :)
+ <braunr> that's a different issue
+ <braunr> my debugging session ended in the routing code
+ <braunr> and i didn't investigate further
+ <youpi> braunr: it seems the BPF filter on /dev/eth0 doesn't include IPv6
+ frames
+ <youpi> that'd explain that it worked before but not any more
+ <braunr> oh
+ <braunr> good
+ <braunr> i'd love to assign global addresses to our VMs :)
+ <youpi> ok, it goes through, there is just a remaining multicast join issue
+ <youpi> yep, ethernet_set_multi is empty :)
+ <youpi> ok, enabling ALLMULTI was enough to fix it

+# CPU Usage
+
+## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-01-30
+
+ <gnu_srs> Hi, htop seems to report CPU usage correct, but not top, is that
+ a known issue?
+ <youpi> does your /proc have the -c flag?
+ <gnu_srs> /hurd/procfs -c
+ <youpi> I don't remember which way it works, but iirc depending on whether
+ -c is there or not, it will work or not
+ <youpi> problem being that nothing says linux' clock is 100Hz, but a lot of
+ programs assume it
+ <gnu_srs> seems like htop gets it right though
+ <youpi> possibly just by luc
+ <youpi> k
+

+ <braunr> both htop and top seem to have problems report the cpu time
+ <braunr> so i expect the problem to be in procfs
