Hi all,


Over last few weeks I was working on making Ceph 15.2.4 to build and run
on ARM 32 bit system. It appears that Ceph no longer supports 32 bit
systems. But I wanted to run it on Odroid HC-2 which makes a very good
cheap OSD basically turning SATA disk into ethernet enabled disk. So I
stuck my teeth into getting current Ceph up and running on 32 bit
architecture. While doing so I have encountered number of bugs in Ceph
codebase which I now want to put back for everyone to use.

For example I found a bug in EC code which attempts to malloc around 4GB
- this bug is not noticeable on 64 bit systems as malloc happily
allocates 4GB but it of course failed on 32 bit system and digging into
the issue shown that this malloc was just a bug - it should not be
happening at all in the first place.

Or wrong include (.cc instead of .h) which caused compilation hard
error. Or python threading timeout was specified as int while it should
be a float and basically timeout was not happening. And so on. Small
inaccuracies peppered around code base. It is certainly should not be
done as one huge patch and I am happy to put these patches one by one.
But which way it should be done? As number of PR requests on github? Or
patch files emailed to someone?

May someone from the list enlighten me on acceptable procedure I need to
follow?


Regards,

Vladimir
