(In reply to comment #0) > Description of problem: > > The kernel package contains the DLM module > The kernel-modules-extra package contains GFS2, OCFS2, SCTP modules > > DLM depends on SCTP Actually, it doesn't: [jwboyer@zod linux-2.6]$ modinfo dlm filename: /lib/modules/3.3.1-3.fc17.x86_64/kernel/fs/dlm/dlm.ko license: GPL author: Red Hat, Inc. description: Distributed Lock Manager depends: intree: Y vermagic: 3.3.1-3.fc17.x86_64 SMP mod_unload [jwboyer@zod linux-2.6]$ At least not in the strict module dependency terms, which is why it isn't sucked into the kernel-module-extras package automatically. It does select IP_SCTP at build time though. It seems the DLM code is just using the generic socket calls with IPPROTO_SCTP. Perhaps that should be a depends in the DLM Kconfig instead of a select. Anyway, that's a different issue than what this bug report is covering. > The suggested solution on the fedora devel mailing list is to request that GFS2 > and SCTP modules be moved back into the main kernel package.

Action items from Friday's meeting (from memory!): - DLM module to move to kernel-modules-extra - gfs2-utils to have a dep on kernel-modules-extra added to it ditto for other userland packages requiring kernel-modules-extra modules Also we need to ask Dave Teigland whether DLM can be made independent of the SCTP module (we know that it is possible to insmod DLM without SCTP, but will it handle the case when a user requests to use SCTP in nicely in that case? If so then can the select SCTP in the DLM Kconfig be removed?) Let me know if I missed anything here.

I'll get the kernel portions fixed up in F17/rawhide today. As of this recent commit: http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=2f2d76cc3e938389feee671b46252dde6880b3b7 the dlm module depends on the "sctp_do_peeloff" symbol from the sctp module. While it would be nice to make the dlm independent of the sctp module again, I don't see how that's possible.

OK. So that actually picks up the correct dependency on sctp in the dlm.ko: [jwboyer@vader kernel]$ modinfo dlm filename: /lib/modules/3.4.0-0.rc3.git0.1.fc18.x86_64/kernel/fs/dlm/dlm.ko license: GPL author: Red Hat, Inc. description: Distributed Lock Manager depends: sctp intree: Y vermagic: 3.4.0-0.rc3.git0.1.fc18.x86_64 SMP mod_unload [jwboyer@vader kernel]$ That should cover it going forward. The 3.3 and older kernel will basically just live as-is I guess. OK. This is fixed in F17/rawhide. It'll go out in the next update and bodhi will leave a comment here when it's in the repos. Thanks - sounds good. kernel-3.3.2-8.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-3.3.2-8.fc17 Package kernel-3.3.2-8.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel-3.3.2-8.fc17' as soon as you are able to, then reboot. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-6344/kernel-3.3.2-8.fc17 then log in and leave karma (feedback). kernel-3.3.2-8.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
