Ugh. I need coffee. Minimal need to upgrade to 3.22.3 for most users of RHEL 6.6.

Should be lots of hits in the archives. TL;DR - should be fixed soon and there's minimal need to upgrade to 3.22.3 for most users.

I assume that the problem arises from the fact that the Red Hat kernel (2.6.32-504.1.3.el6) is identified as 2.6.32 via the ixgbe source code but by virtue of the back-porting and bug fixing by Red Hat any assumption of the kernel version is incorrect. Here is an example of the failure (taken from the attempted build of a kmod package) -- [quote] /usr/bin/make -C /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 O=/lib/modules/2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64/build SUBDIRS=/home/ajb/rpmbuild/BUILD/ixgbe-3.22.3/src modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64' CC [M] /home/ajb/rpmbuild/BUILD/ixgbe-3.22.3/src/ixgbe_main.o In file included from /home/ajb/rpmbuild/BUILD/ixgbe-3.22.3/src/ixgbe_main.c:52: /home/ajb/rpmbuild/BUILD/ixgbe-3.22.3/src/ixgbe.h: In function 'ixgbe_qv_unlock_napi': /home/ajb/rpmbuild/BUILD/ixgbe-3.22.3/src/ixgbe.h:572: error: too many arguments to function 'napi_gro_flush' /home/ajb/rpmbuild/BUILD/ixgbe-3.22.3/src/ixgbe_main.c: At top level: /home/ajb/rpmbuild/BUILD/ixgbe-3.22.3/src/ixgbe_main.c:9087: error: unknown field 'ndo_busy_poll' specified in initializer /home/ajb/rpmbuild/BUILD/ixgbe-3.22.3/src/ixgbe_main.c:9087: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type make[3]: *** [/home/ajb/rpmbuild/BUILD/ixgbe-3.22.3/src/ixgbe_main.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [_module_/home/ajb/rpmbuild/BUILD/ixgbe-3.22.3/src] Error 2 make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64' make: *** [default] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.2mJtbI (%build) [/quote] For your convenience, I have attached the buildlog file (from which the above is an extract).
