[opensuse-kernel] v4.13-rc1 module linking issue

Hi, I'm facing an error trying to locally build a custom kernel module: make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$PWD make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-4.13.0-rc1-2.g9c198f2-obj/arm64/default' AR /home/andreas/lora/built-in.o CC [M] /home/andreas/lora/af_lora.o LD [M] /home/andreas/lora/lora.o CC [M] /home/andreas/lora/dev.o LD [M] /home/andreas/lora/lora-dev.o CC [M] /home/andreas/lora/sx1276.o CC [M] /home/andreas/lora/rn2483.o Building modules, stage 2.

Any ideas what's going wrong here? Our config/arm64/default Kconfig? Our kernel[-default]-devel packaging? Something in the upstream kernel?

[opensuse-kernel] Frequency of Leap kernel updates
by Takashi Iwai 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

Hi, as we're closing to the release of Leap 42.3, I'd like to ask your opinions about the frequency of update kernel releases. For Leap 42.1 and 42.2, I've tried to pick up the update regularly, roughly once per month. For example, below is the list of kernels that have been released for Leap 42.2: 4.4.27-1 20161027 4.4.36-5 * 20161208 4.4.36-8 20161209 4.4.46-11 20170204 4.4.49-16 * 20170219 4.4.57-18.3 * 20170330 4.4.62-18.6 20170421 4.4.70-18.9 20170531 4.4.72-18.12 * 20170619 4.4.73-18.17 20170623 4.4.74-18.20 20170630 The kernels with asterisk are for security updates. My question here is whether this rhythm is ideal for users and from maintenance burden POV. Should the update be triggered more often, a la rolling release like each stable 4.4.x kernel update? Or twice per month? Or better to be less frequently? Release more often would allow catching a regression more quickly, and this would make bug hunting easier. More frequent update is no problem from my kernel branch maintainer side, too, but it'll certainly increase the load for QA.

[opensuse-kernel] USB devices inactive after kernel/stabel upgrade from 4.12.7-4 -> 4.12.8-2
by PGNet Dev 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

after Leap 42.3 kernel/stable upgrade from 4.12.7-4 -> 4.12.8-2, what I'd initially thought was a problem with NVidia driver, appears to be a broader issue ... On 4 Leap machines, all linux/64, after upgrade, various USB devices are non-responsive once logged-in. On two machines WITH NVidia HW & driver, it's keyboard+mouse. The reason I initially thought it was X/Nvidia-related, is that the mouse/keyboard are live through grub menu, but were noticed dead at the SDDM login. On another, without any Nvidia HW or driver it's 2 wifi dongles. On the last, similarly without Nvidia, it's a USB-connected HD drive. In all 4 cases, switching back to 4.12.7-4 cleanly fixes the issues. Attempts to manually bring up the devices simply returns "device does not exist". I'm apparently not looking in the right place, cuz I see no logged *error* -- no OOPS, crashes, or even errors, yet. I can bisect if absolutely needed, but as these are OSB-pkg'd kernels, ideally, it's messy-ish. So, first question -- anyone else seeing similar problems? I can provide detail; Any specific pointers on what/how to debug/trace the problem? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] incorrect URLs on kernel.opensuse.org
by Olaf Hering 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

The link references from kernel.git to kernel-source.git are broken: https://kernel.opensuse.org/ -> SLE12-SP3 -> Browse the source code -> tree -> "drivers/" -> log for "block/" -> pick a commit done by SUSE, like one for "rbd" the URL for "suse-commit:" is https://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel/kernel-source/commit/?id=rev it must be https://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel/commit/?id=rev Olaf
