http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1095148 Bug ID: 1095148 Summary: virtualbox KMPs can't be used with the latest kernel release Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.0 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Virtualization:Other Assignee: Larry.Finger@gmail.com Reporter: fvogt@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de CC: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- The latest virtualbox-{guest,host}-kmp-default packages require a kernel older than the latest released versions. It's therefore impossible to use those drivers with the latest kernel update. kernel-maintainers are in CC to provide information on how this is supposed to work for maintenance updates.

If so, this is brought from /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires.ksyms, and it's a change in rpm, not the kernel package. Presumably, the change came from bug 1077692. Adding relevant people to Cc. As far as I see the find-requires.ksyms, it has a check for openSUSE kernels and adds the above requirement. But this isn't correct for oS Leap kernels; Leap kernels are kept kABI-compatible, so the behavior should be as same as SLE. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I don't think that will work - /etc/os-release in the build env is provided by dummy-release and only contains fake information. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

%__kmp_provides %{_rpmconfigdir}/find-provides.ksyms --opensuse 0%{?is_opensuse} %__kmp_requires %{_rpmconfigdir}/find-requires.ksyms --opensuse 0%{?is_opensuse} So if somebody can write a release-neutral rpm macro that detects tumbleweed I suppose it can be passed in. AFAIK the recommended rpm macro to detect tumbleweed depends on the current latest opensuse release number so it is not release-neutral. Failing that we should eschew dummy-release for kmp builds. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

How about to change --opensuse with --preserve-kabi and pass 0%{sle_version} instead? If the argument is non-zero, it's either SLE or Leap. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks for the suggestion. Renamed to --suse-release to make the argument name saner. Trying to understand what --preserve-kabi means here would be rather confusing because the kabi is not preserved here. It is assumed it is preserved in the kernel package. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

1. Does this issue require any changes in the VirtualBox packages?

No, we would just need to rebuild KMPs with the fixed rpm.

2. What is the path that updates to VB in SLE take?

SLE has no VB package :) It's present only on openSUSE, so far. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

That's exactly how it is misleading. It is 0 only on Tumbleweed and that's the reason we switch from is_opensuse to sle_release. It it was non-zero on SLE only then it would be inverse of is_opensuse and completely meaningless. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
