Hi All,

• Linux 5.8-rc2 Released For This Big Summer 2020 Kernel -- phoronix.com
• 5.8-rc2 announcement
• Linux Git log
• Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 5.8

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

Kernel 5.8 RC2 running fine on the AmigaOne X5000. Also the onboard Ethernet adapter is working great!

Hi Skateman,

Alexander has replied because of our test results.

Hi Christian,

Could you please check if the kernel passes CONFIG_TEST_BITMAP self-test?

Thanks!

I compiled a test kernel with the option "CONFIG_TEST_BITMAP=y" today. Could you please boot it and look for the bitmap tests with "dmesg | grep -i bitmap"?

Thanks,
Christian

Thanks a lot for testing! I reported our test results to Alexander today.

Link to the test thread: FSL P5020/P5040: DPAA Ethernet issue with the latest Git kernel -- Linuxppc-dev mailing list

FYI because of the DPAA Ethernet issue:

Thanks for the test! So it works as expected.

I would suggest to compare what is going on on the device probing
with and without the bisected commit.

There seems to be MAC and PHY mode initialization issue that might
resulted from the bitmap format change.

I put Madalin and Sascha on CC as they have done some works on
this part recently.

Thanks!

OK, we have to wait. I will patch the RC3 with our dpaa-v1 patch again.
