dkms fails to build batman module #157

AiyionPrime · 2021-02-20T10:56:38Z

Apparently on new kernel upgrades dkms fails to build batman properly. On regular kernel updates.

I cannot reproduce it, since I cannot issue new kernel packages. But it happens with every single new kernel package.

Originally posted by @1977er in #156 (comment)

downgrade kernel of a supernode
reboot
rebuild batman manually to match the kernel properly
remove any batman artifacts of newer kernel version
trigger updtae, which then should find a new kernel
paste dkms error log here

I added the milestone "Beginn der stabilen Phase", as this is marked as bug and should therefore fixed before the "stabile Phase".

As just discussed in Mumble, we will remove this from the milestone to fulfill the milestone in time. So everyone has to take care of this manually for a few more weeks...

Hopefully fixed in 97b950d .

Was a little hustle to find, but someone in the dkms land thought, it is a good idea to assume that the variable MAKE will always starts with MAKE="make". Otherwise things break horribly and the module is always built for currently running kernel.

You can check you are affected using: find /lib/modules/ -name batman-adv.ko | xargs md5sum | grep dkms

Bad output:

[root@sn10]:/usr/src/batman-adv-v2021.0 # find /lib/modules/ -name batman-adv.ko | xargs md5sum | grep dkms
c2b3ee5516486a278a950029925abebb  /lib/modules/4.19.0-16-amd64/updates/dkms/batman-adv.ko
c2b3ee5516486a278a950029925abebb  /lib/modules/4.19.0-14-amd64/updates/dkms/batman-adv.ko

(Modules for different kernels should'nt have same checksum)

Good output:

[root@sn09]:~ # find /lib/modules/ -name batman-adv.ko | xargs md5sum | grep dkms
c2b3ee5516486a278a950029925abebb  /lib/modules/4.19.0-14-amd64/updates/dkms/batman-adv.ko
faed6995a7a4cffac0455de641af9a8e  /lib/modules/4.19.0-16-amd64/updates/dkms/batman-adv.ko

(Different kernels have different checksums)

It seems that 97b950d didn't fix the problem completely.

Before 97b950d the output of dkms install looks like this:

[root@sn05]:~ # dkms install --force -m batman-adv -v v2021.0 -k 4.19.0-14-amd64

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:

'make' all..........

DKMS: build completed.

batman-adv.ko:

 - Original module
   - No original module exists within this kernel
 - Installation
   - Installing to /lib/modules/4.19.0-14-amd64/updates/dkms/

depmod...

DKMS: install completed.

After 97b950d the variable KERNEL_RELEASE added to the make command:

[root@sn10]:~ # dkms install --force -m batman-adv -v v2021.0 -k 4.19.0-16-amd64

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:

   - Installing to /lib/modules/4.19.0-16-amd64/updates/dkms/

depmod...

DKMS: install completed.

But still the binary for the 4.19.0-16-amd64 kernel is wrong:

[root@sn10]:/usr/src/batman-adv-v2021.0 # find /lib/modules/ -name batman-adv.ko | xargs md5sum | grep dkms
c2b3ee5516486a278a950029925abebb  /lib/modules/4.19.0-16-amd64/updates/dkms/batman-adv.ko
c2b3ee5516486a278a950029925abebb  /lib/modules/4.19.0-14-amd64/updates/dkms/batman-adv.ko

lemoer · 2021-03-28T22:18:14Z

The logs look odd:

[root@sn10]:/usr/src/batman-adv-v2021.0 # cat /var/lib/dkms/batman-adv/v2021.0/4.19.0-16-amd64/x86_64/log/make.log

The first line

DKMS make.log for batman-adv-v2021.0 for kernel 4.19.0-16-amd64 (x86_64)

contains the correct version 4.19.0-16-amd64.

However, the lines

/var/lib/dkms/batman-adv/v2021.0/build/gen-compat-autoconf.sh /var/lib/dkms/batman-adv/v2021.0/build/compat-autoconf.h

and

make[1]: Verzeichnis „/usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.0-14-amd64“ wird verlassen

still contain the incorrect version 4.19.0-14-amd64.

At ffda I found this dkms.conf: https://git.darmstadt.ccc.de/ffda/infra/salt/-/blob/master/batman_adv/files/dkms.conf.j2

Not sure, what the KERNELPATH thing does, but maybe we could try them one day.

lemoer · 2021-03-28T22:23:41Z

For today I'll leave this bug. It's still there, but I need to stop working on this now.

We can continue to work on this again, when the next kernel will be delivered.

To hotfix the problem, you can reboot to the new kernel and call:

$ dkms uninstall --force -m batman-adv -v v2021.0
$ dkms install --force -m batman-adv -v v2021.0

1977er · 2021-03-30T09:18:52Z

We have one shot left with sn07.

@lemoer Closing it with "won't fix"? Sad but true.
