by Giacomo Comes 25 Jun '20

25 Jun '20

Hello, the kernel of 15.2 has a bug that make fail the command losetup -P Such command was working in 15.1 and the problem has been fixed in the latest kernel: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=… A backport of such commit for 15.2 is advisable. More details here: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1173239 I'm reporting on the list too in the hope that the kernel with the fix does not take months before it is released.

[opensuse-kernel] Bugzilla: Default assignee for Kernel component has changed
by Jeff Mahoney 19 Jun '20

19 Jun '20

Hi all - The default assignee for the kernel component for both SLE and openSUSE releases in Bugzilla has been kernel-maintainers(a)forge.provo.novell.com for many years. As part of the separation of SUSE and Micro Focus, we will lose access to manage that list. As a result, we've changed the default assignee for the kernel component for both SLE and openSUSE releases. The new default assignee for openSUSE kernel bugs is: kernel-bugs(a)opensuse.org Any scripts or searches that used the old address will need to be updated to use the new address. Now that the kernel component for openSUSE has a separate mailing list, community members who want to subscribe to the kernel bug firehose are able to do so if they choose. Thanks, -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney Director, SUSE Labs Data & Performance

[opensuse-kernel] Question about special kernel modifications
by Larry Finger 14 Jun '20

14 Jun '20

Hi, In kernel 5.8, the routine used by VirtualBox to map an area of virtual memory "(__get_vm_area()" has been replaced. By itself, thet is not serious, but the replacement is not exported, thus VB will cannot be built. Ultimately, I think the only solution for Oracle will be to rewrite their module vboxdrv for inclusion in the kernel, the way that VMWare has a built-in module. As that would likely take several cycles, I am looking for an alternative solution to the build problems for the Kernel_HEAD_standard branch of Tumbleweed that will exist as soon as 5.8.0-rc1 is released in a week. The easiest solution would be to modify the openSUSE kernel to export that entry point. Would that be acceptable, or do you have a better solution? For testing purposes, I have made that change to my kernel.

[opensuse-kernel] general protection fault with NFSv3 mounts and factory kernels (5.6.14) and 15.1 Leap
by Hans-Peter Jansen 08 Jun '20

Hi, FYI, I just reported reproducible crashes with NFSv3 mounts and 5.6.14 kernels (from TW), running on a Leap 15.1 server: https://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=159154396926549&w=2 Since this has some security implications as well (nfsd DOS), I wanted to let you know.
