I’ve got the new v9fs development branch somewhat stable on kernel.org—included in it our branches representing the current mm snapshot, my current release (patches submitted) and test (patches being tested) branches as well as some helper branches (systemsim-test includes patches to run the kernel on IBM’s Full System Simulator for ppc64 regression and the standalone branches which are meant to be the source for extracting stand-alone module tarballs which can be compiled on earlier versions of the kernel (ie. they have the ifdefs).

Right now the test branch is approximately the same at the -mm branch (it has all our changes, but is missing some of the impacts of more global changes that have been applied to -mm by others). Those changes are going through regression scripts now and will be pulled into the release branch sometime today.

I’ve setup a ppc64 auto-regression mechanism using IBM’s systemsim. I need to try and incorporate Lucho’s scripts into my suite, but right now am doing the basic sanity tests: fsx/Bonnie/postmark. I’m also in the process of setting up a rootdisk for qemu to do similar testing on unmodified kernels (systemsim requires some patches so its a little bit of pain to use for just regression). If there is interest, I’ll post the rootdisk somewhere where folks can download it.

My current work queue and patch queue is available off of SWiK – I’ll try and keep it up to date. If I’m missing something, please let me know and I’ll add it to the queue.
