Hey Andrey, Zach,
So I'm back from my vacation, and have found that the Android team has
released a -compat tree for their 3.4 kernel. Basically this tree re-adds
some items like earlysuspend and classic wakelocks in order to provide
better compatibility with old (and by old, I really mean current as far as
we see - so ICS and earlier) Android userland.
Since we're still shipping ICS, and have no access to whatever the Android
5.0 userland will be, it seems merging in the -compat tree would make sense.
However, I know Tixy and others have already tried to address the lack of
earlysuspend in the android-3.3+ kernels, so I wanted to double check that
this wouldn't cause additional pain (since those adjustments might need to
be reverted).
So I just wanted to check first with folks to make sure there are no
objections to merging in the -compat changes, and that the timing of merging
in these changes isn't problematic (I can happily hold off till this months
release is done, so we don't risk any last minute gotchas).
Yeah, lets hold off. I'll get it on the schedule for next month. Sound
good everyone?
Put a meeting together next week to plan it.
I won't be there, so I'd rather do it over email. I really don't think
this will be a huge impact, but really just wanted to give a general
heads up and get input from Tixy on how badly it might impact his fix
(or any other userland changes we made to accommodate 3.3+ kernels that
I'm unaware of) and Andrey on if he had any objections.
thanks
-john
