evdi/1.7.0+dfsg-1ubuntu1~20.04.3 ADT test failure with linux-hwe-5.11/5.11.0-20.21~20.04.1

Doing a full backport, as this was done before, and DRM changes are not trivial to backport.

@cascardo are fixes done in ubuntu2 and ubuntu3 also needed in hirsute?

If yes, can you prepare SRU for hirsute as well? If not, can you please explain why?

Well, having a newer version in focal is less than ideal. I will prepare a quick backport and test it on hirsute. Should I do the same for groovy?

Cascardo.

Here is a debdiff against the version in hirsute. It builds fine against 5.11.0-22-generic, and loads.

Cascardo.

@cascardo for the focal's backport resurrecting focal's debian/changelog. See attached.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

All autopkgtests for the newly accepted evdi (1.9.1-1ubuntu3~20.04.1) for focal have finished running.
The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:

Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1].

Thank you!

Here's a patch that should fix the build issue on s390x (or more in general on all systems that don't have USB support enabled).

evdi debdiff is good, but it must go into other series too.

https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/evdi

Looks like that change is needed in impish, hirsute and focal.

One cannot introduce brand new change in a focal SRU with a version number higher than all future series.

I verified that evdi 1.9.1-1ubuntu4~20.04.1 can be built and loaded on a focal amd64 VM running both generic 5.4 and hwe 5.11 kernels.

autopkgtests also completed successfully with hwe 5.11:

Hey, @brian-murray.

We don't have hardware available to test. So, our best effort is to test that the modules still load fine.

And this is better than the alternative, where a user will have the kernel updated from 5.8 to 5.11, and then, not be able to load the current evdi-dkms that is shipped in focal, because it won't even build.

Thanks.
Cascardo.

Hey! I'll release it per comment #24. But please verify the hirsute counterpart as well.
