kata-irc-bot<eric.ernst> Late to the party and realizing that with 2.3 release we effectively have a minimum QEMU version of 6.1, based on the hotplug changes.01:11
kata-irc-bot<eric.ernst> The build is a bit more painful as a result, https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/48672ac058419a2162ea4579d507278e091c1e3e01:12
kata-irc-bot<eric.ernst> We should make sure that is very clear in release notes; I didn't realize we introduced that change without backward support/option01:21
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> A/C meeting happening, foks!15:02
kata-irc-bot<samuel.ortiz> @zmlcc Reducing the amount of underlying kernel threads and using an async framework or not are different problems imho. I’m not sure e.g. tokio guarantees a reduced number of threads.15:46
kata-irc-bot<samuel.ortiz> We’re switching to a language that is not familiar to a lot of the cloud native ecosystem. Adding another layer of *complexity* like e.g. tokio may leave even more people aside.15:47
kata-irc-bot<eric.ernst> QEMU question: is anyone using ceph / RBD with our Kata+QEMU? :thread:16:46
kata-irc-bot<eric.ernst> I was scrubbing through our existing configuration, seeing what is needed / what isn’t16:46
kata-irc-bot<eric.ernst> @julio.montes @jose.carlos.venegas.m - you have any idea here?16:46
kata-irc-bot<eric.ernst> @fidencio pointed me at the kiwi qemu RHEL config for usage w/ Kata.17:44
kata-irc-bot<eric.ernst> IMO, it’d make sense to enable just what we need at this point.  ie, configure-hypervisor (which really should be called configure-qemu) should first disable --all-- config options present, and then just enable what we need. This’ll make it easier when migrating across QEMU versions as well (eliminate the if version hell that exists in there now).17:45
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> Yep, we discussed in one of the previous AC meetings to not only follow what's done in that spec file19:55
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> But also to bring in and use everything from the distro tarball19:56
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> As in, all the patches19:56
