Excerpt

Confirmed topics

VLPI Migration support on Gic V4.1: lushenming (Huawei) - 15 mins
  Topic requested by Lorenzo Pieralisi (ARM)
  In GICv4.1, migration has been supported except for (directly-injected)
  VLPI. And GICv4.1 spec explicitly gives a way to get the VLPI's pending state (which was crucially missing in GICv4.0). So we make VLPI migration
  capable on GICv4.1 in this patch set.
  (5 min) Intro to the work, then questions (10 min).

vCPU HP: Salil Mehta (Huawei) 25 mins.
  Lorenzo has questions + it's an expansive topic.
  I would suggest interested people catch up with slides from KVM forum 2020
  https://kvmforum2020.sched.com/event/eE4m/challenges-in-supporting-virtual-cpu-hotplug-on-soc-based-systems-like-arm64-salil-mehta-huawei  (video not public yet)
  (5 min) Open questions statement, then move to discussion.

RMR related topics - follow up on last call: Lorenzo Pieralisi (ARM) - 5 mins
  There were outstanding questions around whether PCIe reenumeration could
  cause problems here.
  (Lorenzo, Shameer, there were a few other open questions around this topic,
  do we have any other updates for Monday?)

  • Jammy to ensure translations were good. 
  • L: have no good idea about the proper restoring point, need LP's suggestions

vCPU HP: Salil Mehta (Huawei) 25 mins.

  • Presentations to bring the discussions together
  • Arm to start discussions from KVM forum, it is not a month later
  • Need to start reviewing - Lorenzo can you help start a discussion with Arch team in Arm.  
    • LP - is the sizing a problem to upstream for QEMU  ? SM - most changes appear doable, not had a good review yet, did speak to RedHat they say this is in line.
    • LP - Kuberneties Kubernetes require, will they discuss alternatives, or does the fact that it is working on X86 entrench the thinking and that camp say its fine as it is. Has ACPI been discussed?
    • LP - I can take this up with Arm Architecture team

RMR related topics - follow up on last call: Lorenzo Pieralisi (ARM) - 5 mins
