Hi,
this is just so you know: I intentionally linger with pushing kernel 5.9 into K:s and TW. Nvidia (mainly CUDA – uvm module) has licensing problems with 5.9. It always had, but 5.9 forbids this bad behavior now¹⁾.
For the record, if someone is eager to give 5.9 kernel a try, they can use the package from Kernel:HEAD OBS project.
And for just another record:
The current nvidia-gfxG05 builds fine with Kernel:HEAD.
and with the attached patch applied and conditioned correctly, it even builds/ runs fine *including* nvidia-uvm.ko, recovering from the lost CUDA issue.
BTW, it's drbd, that is messed up again for 5.9, even with compatibility patches applied: home:frispete:kernel/drbd.
Given, OBS will catch up, the drbd issue can be examined in home:frispete:kernel:HEAD/drbd. While I really see the power of coccinelle in kernel development since a long time, generating coccinelle scripts on the fly might be intellectually fun, but is an awful concept for serious kernel module packaging, IMHO. Maybe I am also simply too stupid. Cheers, Pete
