Hello Colin, or anyone else affected, Accepted spl-linux into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spl- linux/0.7.5-1ubuntu2.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to zfs-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856704 Title: backport 5.3 zfs support to bionic for HWE kernel support Status in spl-linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in spl-linux source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in zfs-linux source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Bug description: == SRU Justification Bionic == The HWE 5.3 kernel requires ZFS + SPL to support dkms module build functionality for kernels 4.15 through to 5.3. Basically, the ZFS+SPL compat commits between 4.15 and 5.3 are required to allow the modules to build on kernels upto and include the HWE 5.3 kernel. == The Fix == Backport of upstream commits: SPL: - 0002-fix-spl-build-shrinker-callback-check.patch - 0003-remove-deprecated-set-fs-pwd-check.patch - 0004-Linux-4.18-compat-inode-timespec-timespec64.patch - 0005-Linux-4.20-compat-current_kernel_time.patch - 0006-Linux-4.18-compat-Use-ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64.patch - 0007-Linux-5.0-compat-Use-totalram_pages.patch - 0008-Linux-5.0-compat-Fix-SUBDIRs.patch - 0009-Linux-4.20-compat-Fix-VERIFY-RW_READ_HELD-hash-mh_co.patch - 0010-Linux-5.1-compat-get_ds-removed.patch - 0011-Linux-5.0-compat-Use-totalhigh_pages.patch - 0012-Linux-5.2-compat-rw_tryupgrade.patch - 0013-Linux-5.3-compat-rw_semaphore-owner.patch - 0014-Linux-5.3-compat-retire-rw_tryupgrade.patch - 0015-Linux-5.3-compat-Makefile-subdir-m-no-longer-support.patch - 0016-Linux-compat-4.16-SECTOR_SIZE.patch - 0017-Linux-compat-spl-timespec_sub.patch - 0018-deprecate-splat-rwlock-test6.patch ZFS: - 3300-Linux-4.16-compat-inode_set_iversion.patch - 3301-Linux-4.16-compat-use-correct-_dec_and_test.patch - 3302-Linux-4.16-compat-get_disk_and_module.patch - 3303-Linux-compat-4.16-blk_queue_flag_-set-clear.patch - 3304-Linux-4.18-compat-inode-timespec-timespec64.patch - 3305-Linux-4.14-compat-blk_queue_stackable.patch - 3306-Linux-4.19-rc3-compat-Remove-refcount_t-compat.patch - 3307-Linux-5.0-compat-access_ok-drops-type-parameter.patch - 3308-Linux-5.0-compat-Use-totalram_pages.patch - 3309-Linux-5.0-compat-Convert-MS_-macros-to-SB_.patch - 3310-Linux-5.0-compat-Fix-SUBDIRs.patch - 3311-Linux-5.0-compat-Disable-vector-instructions-on-5.0-.patch - 3312-Linux-5.0-compat-Fix-bio_set_dev.patch - 3313-Linux-5.0-compat-Remove-incorrect-ASSERT.patch - 3314-Linux-5.0-compat-Use-totalhigh_pages.patch - 3315-Linux-5.0-compat-ASM_BUG-macro.patch - 3316-Linux-5.2-compat-rw_tryupgrade.patch - 3317-Linux-5.2-compat-Directly-call-wait_on_page_bit.patch - 3318-Linux-5.3-compat-Makefile-subdir-m-no-longer-support.patch - 3319-Linux-5.3-Fix-switch-fall-though-compiler-errors.patch - 3320-zpios-deprecate-current-kernel-time.patch - 3321-add-compat-check-disk-size-change.patch == Testcase == Without these commits users who install kernels and kernel headers from 4.16 through to 5.3 inclusive won't be able to build spl + zfs in Bionic because of the lack of the kernel compat fixes. With the commits, zfs + spl dkms modules can build cleanly and pass the ubuntu ZFS regression tests found in the kernel team autotests git repository. == Risk == This is a sizeable backport that touches a fair amount of spl + zfs kernel interfacing code. There is a risk that the backport may cause a regression in functionality that has not been exercised by the ZFS regression tests. This backport with the zfs regression testing ensures that no regression in core zfs functionality has been found. It must be noted that most of the patches are upstream compat fixes that are known to be working with the latest ZFS that is being used in focal, so we are confident the original compat changes work. Note that these updates have all been build tested on x86-64, arm64 and s390x systems with kernels from 4.16 to 5.3 and regression tested with the ubuntu zfs regression tests.
