Title:
Include cifs.ko in linux-modules package
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in linux source package in Lunar:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
Commit: "smb: move client and server files to common directory fs/smb"
introduced in 2023.09.04 moved the fs/cifs directory to fs/sb/client. The
inclusion list for linux-modules was not updated, it still contains the old
path. This means that the cifs.ko module cannot be loaded if only linux-modules
package is installed, now being part of linux-modules-extra.
For lunar:main this is not a problem because linux-modules-extra is always
installed, but for derivatives like aws, azure etc, this module cannot be
loaded without explicitly installing linux-modules-extra.
[How to reproduce it]:
1. Install the latest azure kernel 6.2.0-1016.16
2. Load cifs module
$ modprobe cifs
modprobe: FATAL: Module cifs not found in directory
/lib/modules/6.2.0-1016-azure
If modules-extra is installed, this works.
[Fix]
Replace fs/cifs/* with fs/smb/client/* in
debian.<derivative>/control.d/<derivative>.inclusiojn-list
This is going to be done in s2023.10.02 cycle for derivatives.
[Test Plan]
1. Apply the fix to one of the derivative (azure), build a new kernel and
install it
2. Load cifs module
$ modprobe cifs
It should work without installing modules-extra.
[Regression potential]
Very low, it's a straightforward fix.
[Other Info]
Sending a patch for every derivative takes time and each derivative will be
fixed once this proposal is acked.
There is also the possibility to do it via cranky fix, but owners may omit it
during security updates and it's hard to enforce it. Plus, it is a one-time
change.
