Hi Greg,
Greg Rose <gvrose8...@gmail.com> writes:
A previous patch added post install and post uninstall scripts which
use the weak-modules utility to make sure that openvswitch kernel
modules are copied to the correct kernel directory. While this
patch did fix some issues there are two remaining issues we have
found.
1) In the case where the OS is running kernel X and the openvswitch
kernel modules have been previously installed correctly and are
working without a problem and then updating to Kernel X.1 we find
that the correct openvswitch kernel module no longer loads.
2) In the case where a kernel module rpm has been built against an
older kernel but installed on a newer kernel then the correct
openvswitch kernel module will not load.
This patch changes the weak-modules parameter to --add-kernel instead
of --add-modules. This fixes the problem in case 1. In addition
we modify the openvswitch depmod configuration file installed to the
/etc/depmod.d directory and prepend a "01" to the name of the file.
We then insert the first line of the file with a search path that
will find weak-updates first. This change along with the change
to the weak-modules utility parameters fixes the problem in case 2.
I also modified the kernel module configuration file for both the
rhel6 and rhel7/fedora specs to use a common "01openvswitch.conf"
file name format.

Oops. I'll send V2 with that fixed after more review time. I'm hoping
Flavio can review it
since he reviewed the initial patches.
Thanks,

I didn't look at the contents of the patch since I'm not as familiar
with weak-updates as I probably should be (more of a dkms fan, myself).
