[00:02] I was here yesterday about bug #1891768. Before re-posting an updated version, I checked if the updated Ubuntu 20.04.1 still failed. It WORKED! The bug no longer exists for vmlinuz-5.8.0-44-generic! [00:02] bug 1891768 in linux (Ubuntu) "hfs+ filesystems fail reading / writing large files" [Undecided,Expired] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1891768 [00:03] I searched launchpad and found no bug report that claimed to fix this. Can you explain this? [00:06] Is it reasonable to expect this fix to propagate to the other supported kernel versions? [00:14] , you assisted me yesterday. Do you have any thoughts? [00:46] I guess no one is interested in helping me today. I'll try again another day. [14:10] good afternoon [17:01] Is there a procedure for requesting a patch be ported from upstream stable into Ubuntu? [17:06] Ubuntu-5.8.0-45.51 introduced a trivial-to-reproduce driver crash which has since been fixed in upstream and stable. I'm seeing a number of reports from people complaining about the issue. [17:07] Upstream fix: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/179e8e47c02a1950f1c556f2b854bdb2259078fb [20:03] it seems it's already queued for the kernel that will be released in ~3 weeks
