=== slangase` is now known as slangasek === kees_ is now known as kees === ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube [12:10] hi folks, pretty please update virtualbox kernel modules for xenial? === shuduo is now known as shuduo-afk [12:14] LocutusOfBorg, it is currently at 5.0.16-dfsg-2 - Is there some serious bug ? [12:15] not sure [12:15] kernel fixes for 4.6 [12:16] LocutusOfBorg, are you talking about the DKMS package ? [12:16] yes, and guest-dkms [12:16] uploading a new virtualbox now [12:17] ok - so the kernel team does not maintain that package. I'm mostly concerned about the in-kernel version. [12:18] oops [12:18] the dkms and guest-dkms are provided by me [12:18] I mean virtualbox-modules [12:18] and virtualbox-guest-modules === shuduo-afk is now known as shuduo [12:29] smb, re: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1570441/comments/3 - are you saying all of those patches are relevant and should be applied as well ? [12:29] Launchpad bug 1570441 in linux (Ubuntu Xenial) "Kernel Panic in Ubuntu 16.04 netboot installer" [Undecided,In progress] [12:40] rtg, I was before I realized that somehow the patch which is claimed to break things is unlikely applied to Xenial [12:40] smb, we do have 'x86/topology: Create logical package id' in Xenial as of -18 [12:41] rtg, oh ok... was I looking at the wrong branch then? I did pull master this morning... [12:41] smb, always master-next [12:42] rtg, Ok, sorry. So if we have that one we probably want the whole bunch of fixups [12:42] smb, it was applied for bug #1397880 [12:42] :/ [12:42] bug 1397880 in intel "[Feature] Memory Bandwidth Monitoring" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1397880 [12:43] looks like it was a scaffold patch [12:43] If scaffold means pretty bad, yeah [12:44] Only looking at the commit messages of the follow-up it feels like a case where they realized only in hindsight how much breakage this caused [12:45] smb, well, lemme look at those other patches as well [12:47] rtg, The Xen one was the only one that did not have a fixes lin in the commit. But then reading through the description I had a feeling it might still be better to proactively apply it too [12:48] smb, or I could just try to revert that topology patch and fixup the memory bandwidth monitoring code. [12:48] rtg, Hm, do you think that is possible? [12:49] smb, dunno, I'll try it out. Seems like a safer move at this point [12:49] rtg, I agree. If the monitoring can be made working without this it seems safer. [12:54] rtg, amazing. for the amount of follow-ups this produced the change looks pretty harmless [12:54] smb, well, there is a fair bit of code movement in that patch [12:55] whoops, looking at the wrong one. [12:55] you are right, it is simple [12:55] rtg, ah ok. I only saw additions [12:56] smb, it reverts cleanly, which means the compile will likely fail 'cause there is a missing function or header [12:57] rtg, Right there was a new structure field and a bunch of functions in it === shuduo is now known as shuduo-afk [12:59] smb, topology_max_packages is missing. that might be simple enough. [13:00] rtg, except if the monitoring is based on assumptions about available packages... [13:00] just checking when that appeared [13:02] smb, drat, it all seems kind of interdependent [13:02] that's a hairball [13:04] Yeah I could imagine that bandwith monitoring is depening on some more specific topology info [13:05] So lets try all currently known follow-ups and pray/hope for the best === kgunn is now known as Guest72262 === Trevinho_ is now known as Trevinho === ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube [17:00] apw, rtg, I am looking for an Ubuntu-4.5 tag on unstable tree ... and I am not seeing one.. if I apply the 3 patches in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.5.1-wily/ will that be close enough to an Ubuntuized kernel ? === ogra_` is now known as ogra_ === mjeanson_ is now known as mjeanson === sforshee` is now known as sforshee === rbasak_ is now known as rbasak === manjo` is now known as manjo === ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube === rbasak_ is now known as rbasak === Elimin8r is now known as Elimin8er === chrisccoulson_ is now known as chrisccoulson
