xnoxapw, hi! i have more kernel config requests. Imho _KVM _VIRTIO_* should be set to =y, on s390x, if not throughout. See bug 1532886 17:54
ubot5bug 1532886 in linux (Ubuntu) "s390x kernels are inconsistent for cloud stuff" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/153288617:54
xnoxwould you please review them for sensibility and shepperd it past the nagging bot =)17:55
apwxnox, are those causing issue, or just making you unhappy17:56
xnoxapw, the VIRTIO_BLK and VIRTIO_NET are failing to boot the cloud images.17:57
apwxnox, but presumably that is because they are missing from the initrd or something, as much as not being =y17:58
xnoxsure.17:58
xnoxall i have is virtio_scsi.ko because of ./config.common.ubuntu:CONFIG_SCSI_VIRTIO=m17:58
apwas it seems more logical for them to all be =m rather17:59
xnoxapw, no... cause then one requires to have initrd, and cannot do direct kernel boot, no?17:59
apwxnox, ubuntu essentially does not boot without an initrd anyhow18:00
apwright ?18:00
xnoxso virtio_blk ends up in -extra18:01
xnoxwhich is odd18:01
apwwell that is likely all wrong18:02
apwlikely because it has been =y so noone noticed it wasn't being pulled up to -image18:02
xnoxapw, and do we have any history into why they are =y?18:03
xnoxand in per-arch rather than in config.common.ubuntu?18:03
xnoxsurely things that are the same on all arches, let's say pre-recent ports should have migrated into config.common.ubuntu?18:03
apw"it doesn't work mumble mumble" without, and i think s390x came with it =m and we thought to use that to find out why18:03
rtgapw, debian.master/config/s390x/config.common.s390x:CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=m18:04
rtgdebian.master/config/s390x/config.common.s390x:CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=m18:04
rtgthose are wrong IMHO18:04
rtgor at least inconsistent18:04
xnoxrtg, see full bug report -> bug 1532886 i have CONFIG_KVM there too, and ZLIB_DEFLATE18:04
ubot5bug 1532886 in linux (Ubuntu) "s390x kernels are inconsistent for cloud stuff" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/153288618:04
apwrtg, they are inconsistant, but there is no obvious reason tehy _have_ to be =m which is what we discussing18:04
apw=y even18:04
rtgright18:05
apwwe have a lot of stuff which is =y because in 2.6.32 they wern't loadable, and we've not come back to them18:05
xnoxapw, well back in the day we had normal and virtual kernel images. and normal had it as a module, and virtual had it as =y no?18:05
xnoxand then we merged all kernel flavours to one (or some such)18:05
apwxnox, i don't thikn it is as clear as that sounds, but some of that occured18:06
xnoxand at that point i guess CONFIG_VIRTIO_* did =m -> =y18:06
apwit did that becuase it didn't autoload, in the old days18:06
apwbut, it may well do so now18:06
apwi think debian is all =m and happy, so 18:06
xnoxhowever, it seems that the current cloud-image building machinery doesn't have -extra image installed, and subsequently initramfs-update doesn't include virtio-blk (automagically or needs to be forced)18:06
apwxnox, right so for sure that not being in linux-imageis _wrong_18:07
rtgxnox, that is definitely a bug18:07
xnoxoh, lack of autoloading *sigh* those were the good old days =)18:07
xnoxi can check that it can autoload, with d-i on s390x on a virtual machine.18:08
xnoxbecase udebs are packaged right and have virtio-blk, and in a qemu vm they should autoload....18:08
xnoxlet me check that.18:08
apwxnox, oh goody we have it half right, sigh ^218:11
xnoxor rather "for once .udebs are on the ball =)"18:12
apwrtg, heh and we might want to upload a 4.3 now :/18:12
rtgapw, great :(18:12
apwrtg, luckily i have the previous master-next should it come to it18:13
mamarleyXenial will eventually be getting 4.4, won't it?18:13
apwmamarley, yep, "soon" waiting on some dkms fallout to be resolved as much as anything18:14
rtgapw, why don't you go ahead anf force push xenial master-next. I've updated unstable18:14
apwmamarley, and inded we had just decided we wen't going need a v4.3 again18:15
mamarleyOh, stuff like graphics drivers failing to compile?18:15
xnoxapw, virtio_net appears to be auto-loaded18:16
apwxnox, that is enocouraging18:16
apwxnox, so i'd say lets get that fixed in teh inclusion list if that fixes you18:16
xnoxi only see virtio_scsi.ko and virtio_net.ko in the installer =/18:17
xnoxsigh, i guess block-modules is not included in the d-i.18:18
xnoxand well, it's a must really.18:19
xnoxbecause then none of the d-i/server installer will install inside a virtual machine =(18:19
xnoxon some arches....18:19

xnoxle sigh.18:20
xnoxso block-modules needs to be added to like ppc64el, armhf, arm64, s390x18:20
* xnox ponders which d-i builts are used for qemu installs18:22
apwrtg, ok the tip i have was last changed on the 24 dec, do you recall doing anything since then to it ?18:22
rtgapw, yeah, probably. lemme go back in my local log. I can find the last 4.3 tip18:23
apwrtg, the source uploader has:18:27

rtgapw, yep, that is what my log shows as well18:28
rtgI'll reset master-next18:28
apwok good enough thanks18:28
rtgapw, pushed18:29
rtgxnox, apw, I'll catch up on bug #1532886 after I get some lunch18:30

xnoxrtg, cool thanks. Well work with apw as to what you want to make things consistent and which way around.18:31
rtgxnox, well, if we make VIRTIO_BLOCK and _NET consistent, i.e., =y, then no other changes are needed.18:32
xnoxsure.18:32
xnoxbut i thought that apw wants to make them all =m and make sure they land in -image, rather than in -extra18:33
xnoxwhichever =) as long as cloudimages still build and are bootable =)18:33
apwrtg, prolly the expedient way forward and i will add a card to get that looked at by someone18:33
xnoxthanks =)18:35
xnoxapw, rebuilt s390x d-i in a ppa, with block-modules. virtion_blk & _net autoload correctly for me. However, I'm struggling to figure out if there is any initramfs that we want to /not/ have those modules.19:09
xnoxgiven that any disk-image can be trivially exported into a VM and booted.19:10
apwxnox, right we likley would want them in every initrd, not in the kernel though as they don't go away then19:12
xnoxright.19:13
* xnox ponders where/how initramfs decides to include virtio_net or not.19:13
apwxnox, it is likley on my list of "always include this if it exists"19:14
apwit has quite an extensive list of that19:14
xnoxfailing to grep for it.19:15
xnoxapw, yeah, we are good. we default to most, and that does "copy_modules_dir kernel/drivers/block" copy all the things.19:21
xnoxand kernel/drivers/net19:22
xnoxso turning virtio_blk|_net into modules should be a fairly safe and uneventful.19:22
xnoxstill need to check that all the relevant d-i's have block-modules and that's about it.19:23
