openafs-modules-dkms 1.6.7-1: openafs kernel module failed to build

This is due to the backport of a kernel change:
  move d_rcu from overlapping d_child to overlapping d_alias
to 3.2.0-76.111 and 3.13.0-46.*.

The OpenAFS package in Debian sid (1.6.10-4) has the necessary fixes. If you want to cherry-pick them, try the patches I'll attach shortly.

The attachment "Part 1 (upstream) patch for this problem" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

[This is an automated message performed by a Launchpad user owned by ~brian-murray, for any issues please contact him.]

Thanks. Installing openafs-client with dependencies from debian sid will break because of Perl pre-dependencies. Picking openafs-modules-dkms from debian sid and then apt-getting openafs-client works.

Is someone putting this into an update for Ubuntu 14.04? I rely heavily on AFS and would desparately like to get it working again.

This has also been fixed for Precise in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openafs/+bug/1416375

Not "also". It hasn't yet been fixed in -updates for 14.04.

I've taken the patches Sergio provided in #3 and #4 and created a pkg out of it. Uploaded right now at:

  https://launchpad.net/~allee/+archive/ubuntu/test

Test: module build now again with 3.13.0-45-generic trusty kernel and find /afs/ourcell/bigsubdir -ls > /dev/null
worked without error on cmdline or kern.log.

Warning: I've no idea about openafs kernel sources. I just happen to know how to build a package.

Amos: the "also" referred to the Debian sid package.

For build log see ppa:allee/test/

Marking the development release as Invalid since the vivid version (1.6.10-4) has the fix. Only trusty and utopic is concerned by that issue.

Taking care of Trusty for the time being

Achim fix works for me. I'm running 3.13.0-46-generic on Trusty

Achim fix works for me as well on Trusty

Thanks for the tests. I'm just doing a last test at the second part of the provided patch and will take care of the SRU. I'll keep you posted here.

debdiff for trusty

Achim, I adapted your patch into one single quilt patch with added DEP3 information. I also changed the changelog to include bug attribution to you.

Sorry Achim, I was wrong, the attribution is to Sergio who authored the patch. My bad

Hello Fabian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted openafs into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openafs/1.6.7-1ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

1.6.7-1ubuntu1 from -proposed works for me. The module installs fine and I can mount and access the afs.

I just tested the package in -propose and it builds correctly. It would be more useful if someone with a real openafs infrastructure could test it & change the tag to "verification-done". Otherwise, I will change it myself by the end of the week.

Thanks Christoph, I missed your update before posting :-)

In case it helps anyone, I can confirm that 1.6.7-1ubuntu1 from -proposed installs and works correctly.

Thanks! I just installed openafs-modules-dkms_1.6.7-1ubuntu1, ran "modprobe openafs", "/etc/init.d/openafs restart", renewed my logon and have access to my files again! :)

Just upgraded to openafs-modules-dkms 1.6.7-1ubuntu1 via trusty-proposed. Module built successfully, restarted openafs-client, and now /afs appears to be working properly.

Tested version 1.6.7-1ubuntu1 of the openafs packages from -proposed and it installed the openafs-modules-dkms package and built the openafs kernel module properly on kernel 3.13.0-46-generic.

I would like to test this out (I really need afs badly), but I am not sure how do it. I followed the dirextins at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed, i.e.,

Added to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-proposed restricted main multiverse universe

Created the file /etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed-updates with:

Package: *
Pin: release a=trusty-proposed
Pin-Priority: 400

And tried to do an upgrade. Not sure what package to upgrade. For example, I tried:

sudo apt-get install openafs-modules-dkms/trusty-proposed
sudo apt-get install openafs-client/trusty-proposed

and some others and they all report:

E: Release 'trusty-proposed' for 'openafs-modules-dkms' was not found

How do I proceed?

I figured it out and installed the proposed package. It compiled and installed fine and afs is back up!

Hi,

I have the same question as seth. Can you tell what the proposed packages are and how to install them??

In order to get things to work I basically followed the directions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed. However, it did not
initially work. I am not sure exactly which of the below got things
to work, but eventually it did. So here are the steps I went through:

Editted /etc/apt/sources.list to add:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-proposed restricted main multiverse universe

Created file /etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed-updates with this content:

Package: *
Pin: release a=trusty-proposed
Pin-Priority: 400

In an xterm ran:

sudo aptitude -t trusty-proposed

And, there was nothing there. Then, I launched "Software & Updates"
and it showed that the pre-released updates box was checked and
exitted.

Then, I restarted apititude, did an update and voila there were 90
packages. I browsed through them and found

openafs-modules-dkms under the 'net' catagory of 'upgradable
packages'. I picked this with a '+' and then installed with a 'g'.
Everything worked fine.

Applied the release from trusty-proposed as well. Appears to work fine.

Would it be possible to get the 1.6.7-1ubuntu1 packages into trusty-update anytime soon?

It seems I can install the new version from the proposed channel, but I can no longer authenticate now:

    $ klog
    klog: unknown RPC error (-1765328164) Unable to authenticate in realm

proposed 1.6.7-1ubuntu1 package worked for me perfectly, thanks!

proposed 1.6.7-1ubuntu1 works here too!

In case someone installed my test package from comment #10
  https://launchpad.net/~allee/+archive/ubuntu/test
the package revision used there 1.6.7-1+ubuntu0.1~ppa1
is and will be bigger than the 'offical' revision(s) used 1.6.7-1ubuntu*

So if you installed for testing the package from my ppa, please
downgrade to the official package with

  sudo apt-get install $(dpkg -l \*openafs\* | awk '/^i/{print $2 "=1.6.7-1ubuntu1"}')

Sorry, for the additional trouble,
Achim

Strangely, it worked for me when I installed Achim's package above. My problems in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/openafs/+bug/1423151/comments/34 appeared when I removed the package from Achim's PPA and installed the one from trusty-proposed instead.

I have just now confirmed that the package from trusty-proposed works for me on another computer than the one in question above. I am going to retry installing it from scratch on the above computer to see if I can fix it.

@ThomasA: try klog.afs instead of klog. The error message lock like you use klog.krb5 now.

    ls -l /usr/bin/klog* /etc/alternatives/klog

If klog.afs works for you use:

sudo update-alternatives --config klog

to fix it.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for openafs has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

This bug was fixed in the package openafs - 1.6.7-1ubuntu1

Okay, (and sorry if this is a newbie question) .. this so far is just for Trusty, right? Will there be a separate bug posted for Utopic? thx..

The bug for utopic is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openafs/+bug/1425388 .

debdiff for Utopic

package openafs-client 1.6.7-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: η υποδιεργασία installed post-installation script return eror 2

@kostas: you use kernel 3.13? Or the -lts-utopic one 3.16? With lts-utopic kernel there still a problem. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openafs/+bug/1431312

@Achim: I have now removed the openafs packages from my system and re-installed "openafs-client" (and dependencies) from the updates channel. `klog` works again now. Hard to say exactly what went wrong in the process but at least it is back in working condition now.

Hello Fabian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted openafs into utopic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openafs/1.6.9-2ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Could this fix also added to precise-backports for 12.04 HWE Trusty installs?

I've filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/precise-backports/+bug/1324288 for this with the relevant information.

My apologies, wrong copy/paste link in my comment above, the LP bug for precise-backports is:

utopic: +1 Installed 1.6.9-2ubuntu1 from utopic-proposed on a utopic laptop and desktop. Kernel module builds and opeanfs-client works again (listings files and copy to from afs).

success here as well: per Brian's request, I installed and minimally tested the relevant packages i needed(*) from the utopic-proposed repo. Kernel module builds, and directory listings, file create/modify/delete, copy to/from afs all work well.

I would like to try this out. How can I install from utopic proposed? I tried:

sudo apt-get install openafs-modules-dkms/proposed and
sudo apt-get install openafs-modules-dkms/utopic-proposed

In both cases I get an error, e.g.,: E: Release 'utopic-proposed' for 'openafs-modules-dkms' was not found

@Seth: check comment #20, #31 or #48 on how to enable proposed.

The issue is back on 14.04 Trusty with LTS HWE from Utopic:
