Thanks for your feedback!

I missed that mail :(   But why don't I find the v2.8.1 tag in QEMU tree?

Thanks,

Where are you pulling from? From a repo I haven't updated recently:

mdroth@loki:~/w/qemu.git$ git remote get-url origin
git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git
mdroth@loki:~/w/qemu.git$ git fetch origin
remote: Counting objects: 3198, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1725/1725), done.

Receiving objects: 100% (2502/2502), 607.53 KiB | 791.00 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (1963/1963), completed with 424 local objects.
From git://git.qemu.org/qemu
   b64842d..1fde6ee  master     -> origin/master
 * [new branch]      stable-2.8 -> origin/stable-2.8
 * [new tag]         v2.8.1     -> v2.8.1

 * [new tag]         v2.9.0-rc2 -> v2.9.0-rc2
...

If you're pulling from the github mirror I do see that it hasn't been updated
yet with stable-2.8 branch or tag. That process was previously automated AFAIK,
but maybe something has changed since the recent server switch-over. Will look
into it more tomorrow.

Yes, I pull it from github mirror since the firewall of my firm.
And I notice that the latest tag is v2.8.0, no v2.8.1 and v2.9.0-rcX:

linux-arei:/mnt/sdb/gonglei/qemu # git tag | tail
v2.7.0-rc3
v2.7.0-rc4
v2.7.0-rc5
v2.7.1
v2.8.0
v2.8.0-rc0
v2.8.0-rc1
v2.8.0-rc2
v2.8.0-rc3
v2.8.0-rc4

Thanks,

Thanks for confirming. I've pinged the admins about it, I'm sure it'll
get sorted out soon.

The tags might be missing on the github mirror, but the master branch seems
up to date at least. I've also pushed stable-2.8 branch and v2.8.1 to my
tree in case you need to grab them in the meantime:

  https://github.com/mdroth/qemu/releases/tag/v2.8.1

Hi Michael,

The 9p patches look good to me. Maybe you can consider adding:

0d78289c3dca 9pfs: fix off-by-one error in PDU free list

I've already backported it to your stable-2.8-staging branch:

https://github.com/gkurz/qemu/commit/85790d9a8b57e6710151e826053de0036ecbc3b1

Maybe you also want this one:

as a heads up, today I queued "[PATCH v2] target/s390x: Fix broken
user mode" for the s390 tree. We (Cornelia and myself) will try to
get this patch out soon so that it hits mainline before the freeze.
