1. Please describe the problem: The new ntfs kernel module not enabled One of the features of the new kernel 5.15 that will arrive along with fedora35 is the internal kernel module driver for ntfs. I downloaded and installed the rawhide version of the kernel to try out the ntfs support. 2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel: [root@sirius gana]# uname -a Linux sirius 5.15.0-0.rc2.18.fc36.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Sep 20 19:20:51 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@sirius gana]# cat /etc/system-release Fedora release 34 (Thirty Four) [root@sirius gana]# 3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue *first* appear? Old kernels are available for download at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 : NA, ntfs kernel is supposed to be a new feature in kernel-5.15 4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce the issue below: yes * install and update fedora34 * then download kernel packages from https://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/k/ * rpm -i *.rpm * reboot into new kernel 5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``: This bug is filed against rawhide 6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?: Just akmod compiled vbox, but that is not relevant, haven't yet EFI signed them so they don't load yet. 7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.

Calm down, config options are all (with the exception of a couple that conflicted with what we already set) set at their default. Typically the options all come in during the merge window, after the merge window is test week, and then I might have time to go evaluate and set the config options which come in around rc3 or rc4. This week is also Plumbers, which is taking up a bit over half of my days, so it will be next week. There are 81 new config items to set with 5.15, so it takes some time. The ntfs driver will be enabled.
Thx. some updates, I rpmbuild-compiled the rc3 kernel on my haswell-era local-machine laptop, I had enabled ntfs3. It worked. but there are freezes. I had a lot of spurious freezes with the 5.14. The latest 5.14.9-300 seemed to be stable. I strongly feel that the following is responsible https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214503 Revert "block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges" (Jens Axboe) [root@sirius gana]# rpm -qa | egrep -i kernel-5 kernel-5.13.19-200.fc34.x86_64 kernel-5.14.9-300.fc35.x86_64 kernel-5.15.0-0.rc3.20211001git4de593fb965f.30.fc35.x86_64 I will attempt to do a manual revert and rpmbuild kernel-5.15 rc3 again, and check to see if freezes will go away. I am guessing the patch-file to do the revert is the in the kernel src for the 5.14.9.
Yes, Revert "block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges" (Jens Axboe) stops the freezes in 5.15 as well and makes it stable, usable, and hence, necessary. Presently, I am happy with my 5.15 build. akmod-virtualbox 6.1.26 us barfing a kernel trace on load, but that may go away when vbox releases their next version.
