[07:52] <_ami_> apw: calling generic_handle_irq() explicitly on GPIO does the job which i wanted. 
[07:54] <_ami_> :)
[08:20] <apw> _ami_, cool
[08:30] <_ami_> apw: obviously this is the way. emulation of hardware irq to software irq to linux. gutted to not understand this at first place. :/
[09:27] <tjaalton> does the meta package get an update for sru only when the kernel is migrated to -updates?
[09:29] <apw> tjaalton, the meta-package migrates with the kernel as it moves -proposed to -updates
[09:30] <tjaalton> sure but does it get bumped for the abi only once or with every kernel abi change?
[09:30] <tjaalton> one guy claims that xenial-proposed didn't have an update for linux-generic..
[09:31] <tjaalton> yeah it's there
[09:31] <tjaalton> should've just checked myself :)
[09:32] <apw> tjaalton, -meta gets updated for any ABI change in linux, and copies out to -proposed with the kernel as a matched pair always
[09:33] <tjaalton> yeah, thanks
[09:33] <tjaalton> for confirming
[09:33] <apw> np
[12:39] <rtg> elmo, 'apt-get install linux-generic-lts-yakkety' works a little better now that things are done building
[12:41] <elmo> rtg: thanks, will try
[12:48] <apw> rtg, that reminds me you commiteed that "use src_pkg_name in udebs" thing to yakkety ...
[12:48] <apw> rtg, that can't be on the main branch else it breaks the derivative kernels, that is an lts-foo only patch, and so has be carried on those explicitly
[12:50] <rtg> apw, hmm, I guess none of the derivatives build udebs this far. Perhaps we could modify the patch so that it works on mainline ?
[12:50] <rtg> thus far*
[12:50] <apw> we'd only notice when d-i is built as it is only in the name of the linking package to that
[12:50] <apw> it won't break the linux-raspi2 for instance, just any d-i respin we did for that
[12:51] <apw> rtg, and yes, prolly the right thing to do is make that do some kind of if on src_pkg_name and if it is linux-lts-* then use that, else linux
[12:51] <apw> on the master branch, but in the past we have just carried it on the linux-lts-X branch and been happy
[12:53] <rtg> apw, I think this regression appeared when we adopted the modern d-i layout for kernel-wedge. This is the first I've encountered this particular udeb generation bug.
[12:54] <apw> rtg, the src_pkg_name thing, or the one i just fixed
[12:54] <apw> the one i just fixed was introduced by me in the rejig 
[12:54] <apw> the src_pkg_name thing has been done to all the trees up to now as far as i know
[12:54] <apw> its nothing to do with the bit which kernel-wedge plays with
[12:57] <apw> rtg, in lts-wily for instance that change is squashed into "UBUNTU: [Packaging] Wily LTS backport"
[12:59] <rtg> apw, look at Precise, commit 2fcd9ea38097d1d27837b7a407d3f264e2cf4c7c. Looks like henrix ran into the same problem independently.
[12:59] <rtg> apw, nm, I was on the wrong branch
[13:00] <apw> rtg, we had a variety of messes with that, one has the default the other way and alllll the derivates have the reversing patch
[13:00] <apw> but it is only lts-foo that cannot use the approved linux-<thing>-flavour form because it annoyingly duplicates the flavour names
[13:01] <apw> so it is logical for that exceptional branch to carry the exception, or as we said earlier to bodge it in master using the name prefix
[13:14] <rtg> apw, I'll work on bodging it so we don't have to remember to port it to every LTS kernel going forward.
[13:14] <apw> rtg, fine with me
[13:31] <GhostLyrics> We bought a new machine, installed 16.04 and our software setup and now our hardware RAID controller refuses to work after ~3-4 days of uptime with kernel messages similar to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703356
[13:31] <ubot5`> Debian bug 703356 in src:linux "megasas: Failed to alloc kernel SGL buffer for IOCTL (ref.#688198)" [Important,Open]
[13:32] <GhostLyrics> So, what do I do? Wait and hope for this to be fixed? Downgrade to 14.04.X since I don't see if my RAID is healthy when running 16.04?
[13:33] <GhostLyrics> not the best question or wording, I know, but that bug has been open for 3 years
