Hi list, kernel.org shows that the longterm kernel has been raised to 4.1.8 by now. Will Opensuse Leap 42.1 receive such 4.1.x updates or will it stay at 4.1.6.x with the .x being backports or enhancements from the Suse side and enterprise decided features from the opensuse mother company? Thank you.

It'll get soon. OBS Kernel:openSUSE-42.1 repo was already updated to 4.1.8, so you can give it a try beforehand. I'm going to submit it once after some basic tests are done locally.

Hello there, I see on the suse kernel list, that you are in the midst of preparing some newer 4.1.x kernel for opensuse leap and such. I wonder if there is a way to propose certain patches or bugfixes or backports, such as apparently there is some regression for those very large sata storage drives:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93581

someone in there is pointing to this change: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/mkp/linux.git/commit/?h=bugzilla-93581&id=7c4fbd50bfece00abf529bc96ac989dd2bb83ca4

The basic rule is to merge this to the upstream Linus tree, or at least in the subsystem maintainer's tree (in this case scsi tree), at first. Then we accept such a fix patch and may backport to openSUSE kernels. There can be exceptions, of course ("every rule has an exception") but it's really case-by-case. But, this kind of fix should be with Cc to stable. The original commit mentioned there was with Cc to stable, and that's why it hits 4.1.x kernel... Takashi

Thank you.

Thanks for your reply. Does this mean your next kernel update for OpenSUSE Leap will see this bug again sorted out as well?

No. As mentioned, we have to wait until the fix commit gets merged to upstream. And, if you want to make sure that the fix gets into Leap kernel, please open a corresponding bug report. Otherwise we won't pick up any patches but just take the upstream 4.1.x kernel update as is.
