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.
