Hello Paolo, or anyone else affected, Accepted iproute2 into noble-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iproute2/6.1.0-1ubuntu6.1 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, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- noble to verification-done-noble. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-noble. 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: iproute2 (Ubuntu Noble) Status: Triaged => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-noble -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to iproute2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2106115 Title: Expose IFLA_VXLAN_FAN_MAP version via sysctl/proc Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-fan package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in iproute2 source package in Noble: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Noble: Triaged Status in ubuntu-fan source package in Noble: Triaged Status in iproute2 source package in Plucky: Won't Fix Status in linux source package in Plucky: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-fan source package in Plucky: Won't Fix Bug description: [Impact] For ubuntu-fan to work the ip command (from iproute2) needs to know how to pass fan specific arguments to the kernel. This is done at a certain offset of a common data structure. And for that both the user-space side and the kernel have to know which offset that is. Normally this is not changing but with HWE kernels there is a chance that GA kernel and HWE kernel use different offsets. Instead of having to update iproute2 each time this happens the kernel (starting with 6.14 is providing an interface to query the offset and change iproute2 once to make use of that. This SRU targets only devel (Questing) and Noble for iproute2 because series in between will never get a newer kernel version than that they released with. So whatever value for the offset is hard-coded into that version of iproute2 is the correct one. But Noble will soon get hwe-6.14 and that changes the offset from 33 to 34. [Fix] The kernel part is already included in the 6.14 kernel (25.04/Plucky) and onward. The next step is to roll out iproute2 to Questing and Noble (debdiffs in this bug report) which reads the offset from /proc/sys/net/fan/IFLA_VXLAN_FAN_MAP if available. The fallback is to use the hard-coded value. A final step will be to make slight modifications to the ubuntu-fan package which will ensure the vxlan module is loaded before fan networks get configured. This is required to have the offset file available. [How to test] To test the kernel provides the new values: $ sudo modprobe vxlan $ sudo sysctl -a | grep -i vxlan net.fan.IFLA_VXLAN_FAN_MAP = 34 net.fan.vxlan = 4 $ cat /proc/sys/net/fan/IFLA_VXLAN_FAN_MAP 34 To test the whole stack: 1. Install: ubuntu-fan net-tools bridge-utils iproute2 docker.io git 2. Clone: git clone https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+git/autotest-client-tests 3. Obtain the network address of the default route device (for example 191.168.122.0/24) 4. cd autotest-client-tests/ubuntu_fan_smoke_test 5. sudo ./ubuntu_fan_smoke_test.sh <network address from 3.> [Regression potential] All changes affect the ubuntu-fan networking only. Most likely the offset is incorrect which would show up in journalctl | grep fan-net.
