Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: trixie X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected] Control: affects -1 + src:irqbalance User: [email protected] Usertags: pu
[ Reason ] The version in Trixie is affected by #1114676, which prevents irqbalance from working properly as it doesn't have permissions to modify procfs. [ Impact ] The Trixie package is essentially useless due to #1114676. [ Tests ] Salsa CI, manual build+install, plus the fix is reported working in #1114676. Upstream tests do pass but they are not relevant given the nature of the changes. [ Risks ] The patch is an upstream cherry-pick that disables one restriction systemd imposes on the service. There are no changes on the actual code being run. [ Checklist ] [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable [ Changes ] ProtectKernelTunables=yes in the systemd service file prevents irqbalance from working. The restriction got added in https://github.com/Irqbalance/irqbalance/commit/a99b6043b364e071 released in upstream version 1.9.4 and then reverted. The revert is not released yet, so #1114676 is fixed via a quilt patch for now (clean upstream cherry-pick). This pu applies the same patch to the Trixie version. The only other changes is a branch name in d/gbp.conf, non user visible. -- Paride
