Hello Colin, or anyone else affected, Accepted zfs-linux into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs- linux/2.0.2-1ubuntu5.2 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, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-hirsute. 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. ** Changed in: zfs-linux (Ubuntu Hirsute) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- 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/1942991 Title: zfs: can't read /proc/sys/kernel/spl/hostid Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in zfs-linux source package in Hirsute: Fix Committed Status in zfs-linux source package in Impish: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] Reading /proc/sys/kernel/spl/hostid no longer works in 5.7+ kernels upwards. The Fix: commit 7de4c88b39473f358add601e8c227ca9002b1bee Author: наб <nabijaczlew...@nabijaczleweli.xyz> Date: Sun Apr 11 01:18:40 2021 +0200 linux/spl: base proc_dohostid() on proc_dostring() This fixes /proc/sys/kernel/spl/hostid on kernels with mainline commit 32927393dc1ccd60fb2bdc05b9e8e88753761469 ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler") ‒ 5.7-rc1 and up The access_ok() check in copy_to_user() in proc_copyout_string() would always fail, so all userspace reads and writes would fail with EINVAL proc_dostring() strips only the final new-line, but simple_strtoul() doesn't actually need a back-trimmed string ‒ writing "012345678 \n" is still allowed, as is "012345678zupsko", &c. This alters what happens when an invalid value is written ‒ previously it'd get set to what-ever simple_strtoul() returned (probably 0, thereby resetting it to default), now it does nothing Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendo...@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Ahelenia Ziemiańska <nabijaczlew...@nabijaczleweli.xyz> Closes #11878 Closes #11879 This applies cleanly for Impish and Hirsute 2.x ZFS so backporting is straight forward. [Test Plan] cat /proc/sys/kernel/spl/hostid fails without the fix. With the fix it returns a hex string of the hostid value. [Where problems could occur] This affects just a few /proc spl interfaces so the change is a low- impact fix. Not many folk even use these and nobody has reported this as a bug so the number of affected users is expected to be very small. I suspect nobody is reading the hostid from /proc as this information is available elsewhere and it's rather an old legacy interface. The affected change is from upstream ZFS 2.x hence the patch applies cleanly. This fix has been in upstream ZFS for several months with no reported regressions. The change does not affect any core ZFS functionality. Regression tested against the Ubuntu ZFS regression test suite and passed.
