Public bug reported:
[ Impact ]
r8125-dkms does not compile from source in Noble with kernel 6.11:
/var/lib/dkms/r8125/9.011.00/build/r8125_n.c:6255:20: error: initialization of
‘int (*)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_keee *)’ from incompatible pointer
type ‘int (*)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_eee *)’
[-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
6255 | .set_eee = rtl_ethtool_set_eee,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/var/lib/dkms/r8125/9.011.00/build/r8125_n.c:6255:20: note: (near
initialization for ‘rtl8125_ethtool_ops.set_eee’)
[ Test case ]
Install the latest linux-6.11 kernel on Noble:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install linux-image-6.11.0-12-generic \
linux-modules-6.11.0-12-generic \
linux-modules-extra-6.11.0-12-generic \
linux-headers-6.11.0-12-generic
Install r8125-dkms:
$ sudo apt install r8125-dkms
Load the module:
$ sudo modprobe r8125
The same procedure should be repeated on linux-6.8 to test for possible
regressions.
[ Fix ]
Patch the code to properly support the new linux 6.11 ABI.
[ Regression potential ]
A possible regression is possible in systems using r8125-dkms with the
new 6.11 kernel
