Package: openvpn-dco-dkms
Version: 0.0+git20260519-1
Severity: important
Tags: ftbfs patch
Dear Maintainer,
After a system upgrade today, openvpn-dco-dkms failed to build against
the newly installed kernel with headers from the
linux-headers-7.1.5+deb14-amd64 package. It looks like the interface to
setup_udp_tunnel_sock has changed, with the second argument now being a
"struct sock *" instead of a "struct socket *", as per
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/diff/include/net/udp_tunnel.h?id=v7.1.5&id2=v7.1.4
Here's the build log that backs that up:

The solution feels like passing in sock->sk would do the trick if
compiling for >=7.1.5. I've tried this locally, and it seems to work.
I've attached the patch, but as I'm not a seasoned kernel developer it
might need a bit of cleaning or, or there could be better ways to do it,
but at least it unambiguously shows the path to the fix.
If I can be of any further assistance, just let me know.
-DH.
