[Bug 1191322] New: Optimize building initrd when updating system
by bugzilla_noreply＠suse.com 10 Jun '22

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1191322 Bug ID: 1191322 Summary: Optimize building initrd when updating system Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.3 Hardware: All OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-bugs(a)opensuse.org Reporter: Ulrich.Windl(a)rz.uni-regensburg.de QA Contact: qa-bugs(a)suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- When installing updates, dracut is called multiple times to update the initrds of all kernels, for example when lvm2 is updated or when the kernel is updated. It would be better if the initrds were updated once at the end of the transaction (as Fedora does it, for example). Despite of that when keeping older kernels, there may be reasons _not_ to update the initrds of the older kernels: First, some may be removed on next boot anyway, and second, more important: If the idea of older kernels (and initrds) is to have a failback in case the new kernel, initrd or and binaries inside are broken (and thus fail to boot), it seems preferable to have the proven old kernel and initrd. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

In that case this is expected. Upstream changed from "initrd" to "initramfs" a while ago (the term is technically more accurate), but openSUSE kept the name "initrd" for backward compatibility reasons. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

It is working great! /boot/initramfs-5.18.1-1.gd00e88d-default.img /boot/initramfs-5.17.7-1.gc9a5fa1-default.img /boot/initramfs-5.18.1-2.g0578d76-default.img /boot/initramfs-5.16.15-2.g40a4b1d-default.img /boot/initramfs-5.19.0-rc1-1.g515f42c-default.img Without parallel: real 0m43.247s user 0m32.279s sys 0m14.510s With parallel: real 0m6.568s user 0m30.678s sys 0m9.899s I did seem to have a problem: old initramfs files were called "initrd-xxxxxx", new ones are "initramffs-xxxxxxxx", but after I deleted all old files, grub2-mkconfig correctly used new files. I have only had to change behavior when specifying "--regenerate-all" to always assume "parallel", so the zypper initiated dracut also runs multiple jobs: --regenerate-all) case "$2" in "" | yes) regenerate_all="parallel" (instead of "yes") I have no experience with github and would rather leave to somebody else to make this change, if others find it useful.

Wrt parallel execution, we simply call "dracut --regenerate-all". Unfortunately dracut doesn't support parallel execution so far. That would be a rather simple patch to submit upstream. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 1200237] kernel-preempt / kernel-rt not installable on Leap 15.4
by bugzilla_noreply＠suse.com 09 Jun '22

https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200237 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1200237#c5 --- Comment #5 from Takashi Iwai <tiwai(a)suse.com> --- Ah OK, there was a conflict. It can be ignored. But yeah, it's still not ready for easy use, so uninstalling kernel-rt would be a safer choice. Alternatively, you can try the kernel in OBS Kernel:SLE15-SP4-RT repo until the official kernel-rt package appears. It's an unofficial build from the latest git branch. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
