Stable package net-misc/openvswitch-2.10.0-r1 modules can't be compiled succesfully under stable kernel sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.14.120 withouth this user patch installed: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/master/net/openvswitch/patches/0005-datapath-conntrack-fix-include-for-IP6_DEFRAG_CONNTR.patch Unfortunately while this patch works nicely under sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.14.120, it doesn't work with previous stable 4.14.xx kernels, like 4.14.105-r1. The patch is rather simple, a declaration of a data structure has been moved in a new include file, apparently: +#include <net/ipv6_frag.h> which doesn't exist in previous kernels, as far as I can see,

can you test one of the new versions just in case?
Created attachment 578504 [details] Report about versions 2.10.2/2.11.1 bump. I verified the new versions 2.10.2/2.11.1, apologies for the delay, this morning, with negative results, as you can see in the attached report. The very same error about an "incomplete type", while compiling modules. The problem solved by the referenced upstream patch, using the new include file. Hope it helps, Regards, G. Vitillaro.
Ops. Forgot to mention, with kernel sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.14.120: Available kernel symlink targets: [1] linux-4.14.105-gentoo-r1 [2] linux-4.14.120-gentoo * and with these use flags active: (modules ssl -debug -monitor KERNEL="linux" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_6 -python3_5") for openvswitch.

I'm not completely sure I understood how the referenced patch has been applied in the new ebuild openvswitch-2.11.1-r1, but, if I got it, there is still a problem for "old" kernels, kernels which are still tagged "stable" in portage, like 4.14.105-gentoo-r1. Without an ifdef in the patch, kernels < 4.14.120-gentoo wouldn't emerge modules with this patch, as it is, because they lack the new include file. Apologies for commenting a CLOSED BUG. Regards, G. Vitillaro.
you are right, I did think about it but decided to just roll forward, if there are bugs I'll point people at updating their kernels if anything.
