[ANNOUNCE] fedora-netdev kernel repository

[John W. Linville]

Fedora-netdev!

This message is to announce the availability of a new Fedora-based
kernel repository.  The kernels available there are based upon
the standard Fedora kernels, with the addition of current upstream
networking patches which are more recent than the Fedora kernel's
upstream base.  More information is available here:

	http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fedora-netdev/

The purpose of this repository is two-fold: 1) to make bleeding-edge
linux kernel networking developments available to Fedora users who
need or want access to them; and, 2) to open-up the Fedora user
base as a better testing resource for the kernel netdev community.
I hope this will prove to be a win-win situation for both camps.

If you are a Fedora user with an interest or need for the latest
developments in Linux kernel networking, then _please_ try the
kernels from this repository.  Your testing and feedback is greatly
appreciated, desperately requested, and graciously accepted.
Thanks in advance!

Please feel free to contact me at this address regarding these
kernels or other Fedora-related issues (especially networking).
If your interest is coming from the netdev/upstream side of the house,
you may want to contact me as linville(a)tuxdriver.com instead.

Thanks,

John

P.S.  For those who just want to cut to the chase, do this (as root):

   cd /etc/yum.repos.d
   wget http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fedora-netdev/fedora-netdev.repo
   yum update

Do the rawhide kernels already have this?  As I did run a yum update but
no packages available, so not sure if just the naming/versioning is
showing lower and should just install instead or if rawhide kernels
already have the patches?

I only have FC4 at the moment.  I intend to get FC5/rawhide RSN.

Thanks!

Rawhide kernels may have some bits from the netdev git repos, but not
all.  As the repos are pulled into Linus' kernel, they'll wind up in
rawhide kernels.  It's probably around a 1-4 week turnaround (depending
on what state the patch window is in at the time) for patches to get
into mainline, and thus rawhide.

Atually, our problem is more with Fedora kernels and LinuS kernels having
dfferent version numbers for different features. Eg, when sk_alloc changed
argument order and they swapped a bool for an address location, in LinuS
trees that happened in 2.6.12, while that wasn't the case for fedra kernels.
We are now seeing similar issues with the many changes in networking, and
we can only put in one version check.

examples:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,8)
#define NEED_INET_PROTOCOL
#endif

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,12)
#define HAVE_SOCK_ZAPPED
#define NET_26_12_SKALLOC
#endif

/* see <linux/security.h> */
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,13)
#define HAVE_SOCK_SECURITY

/* skb->nf_debug disappared completely in 2.6.13 */
#define HAVE_SKB_NF_DEBUG
#endif

/* skb->stamp changed to skb->tstamp in 2.6.14 */
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,14)
#define HAVE_TSTAMP
#define HAVE_INET_SK_SPORT
#else
#else
#define HAVE_SKB_LIST
#endif

/* it seems 2.6.14 accidentally removed sysctl_ip_default_ttl */
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,14)
#define HAVE_MISSING_IP_DEFAULT_TTL
#endif

Making all of this build on Fedora kernels is reall becoming too big
of a task. But I don't really have a solution for this either :(

fedora-netdev.1 IPv6 freeze [Re: [ANNOUNCE] fedora-netdev kernel repository]

I guess the test can be termed a 'success' because after updating from 
2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 to 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4.netdev.1, I get 100% 
reproducible kernel hang (everything just freezes as it is, no message 
to /var/log/messages or anywhere) after I run '/sbin/ip -6 r l' or try 
to use IPv6 in basically any other way on my ThinkPad laptop with 
external orinoco_cs WLAN card.

Any thoughts for the next steps?

kernel-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4.netdev.2 now available

[John W. Linville]

The second FC4 fedora-netdev kernel is now available.  If you are
already a fedora-netdev user, a simple 'yum update' should retrieve
the new kernels for you.

I now have a fedora-netdev-release package available.  This simplifies
the process of configuring yum for the fedora-netdev repository.
The FC4 fedora-netdev-release package is available here:

	http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fedora-netdev/4/fedora-netdev-r...

Download and install that, then you will be able to use yum to get
the FC4 fedora-netdev kernels.

Thanks, and good luck! :-)
