Bug 770832 – =sys-fs/zfs-kmod-2.0.3 should allow builds kernel 5.11

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Matthew Smith 2021-02-15 19:54:51 UTC]

According to the release notes, OpenZFS 2.0.3 supports Linux 5.11, but the ebuild prevents this by setting ZFS_KERNEL_COMPAT="5.10".

[Comment 1 Matthew Smith 2021-02-15 19:56:26 UTC]

I have tested this locally, seems to build and work fine.

[Comment 2 Alex Buell 2021-02-16 10:38:54 UTC]

Here's a patch that fixes this.

Upstream has not tagged 2.0.3 as supporting 5.11, and I assume that this is what ZFS_KERNEL_COMPAT is set based on.

See: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/blob/9f5f86626620c52ad1bebf27d17cece6a28d39a0/META

This doesn't change what the commit inside the tarball says, but yes, it looks like they're claiming support for 5.11 now.

[Comment 6 Georgy Yakovlev 2021-03-09 20:03:47 UTC]

2.0.4 is out which works fine on 5.11 and has 5.12 compat patches, use that instead, bumping right now, 2.0.3 will go away.



btw, in the future if similar situation occurs, you can specify

ZFS_KERNEL_COMPAT_OVERRIDE=5.11


as an environment variable and it will allow ebuild to install without editing locally.

[Comment 7 Georgy Yakovlev 2021-03-09 21:26:01 UTC]

2.0.4 is in the tree with proper compat, enjoy.
