[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1768526] Re: Include nfp driver in linux-modules
Thanks! I've created a custom cloud-image using the following method, and verified that the proposed package has indeed moved the module out of -extras into the main package. curl 'http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/daily/server/bionic/current/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img' -O cat >bionic-proposed
[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1768526] Re: Include nfp driver in linux-modules
This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed- bionic'. If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1768526] Re: Include nfp driver in linux-modules
The code impact is likely adding the line: drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/* to https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/bionic/tree/debian.master/control.d/generic .inclusion-list -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768526 Title: Include nfp driver in linux-modules Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: SRU Justification: -- [Impact] * Currently the driver for Netronome Agilio SmartNICs, nfp.ko, is included in linux-moudles-extra. An implication of this is that on minimal installs, where the linux-modules but not linux-modules-extra packages are available, the nfp.ko module cannot be installed. In particular this means the driver for any VFs of Netronome Agilio SmartNICs which have been made available to guests using PCI pass-through cannot be used by those guests if they have installed using Canonical cloud images, a likely scenario. In contrast the driver for the i40e is provided in the linux-modules package and thus guests can access their VFs in the scenario described above. Thus we do not believe it is unreasonable to request that nfp.ko be included in linux-modules rather than linux-modules-extras. And we believe that this warrants SRU inclusion as it is the difference between users-of guests being able to use Netronome Agilio SmartNICs and not be able to use them. This is a packaging update request and included no request to change the kernel source code, thus no backports are requred. [Test Case] * Install system using Canonical cloud images * Observer that /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp.ko is missing; * If an Netronome Agilio SmartNIC device is present, via PCI pass-through or otherwise, that the nfp driver is not loaded and no netdevs are present for the Netronome Agilio SmartNIC. [Regression Potential] * Any bugs present in the nfp.ko will now be exposted to guests. However as the same nfp.ko driver binary is already included in and available on installs that have access to linux-modules-extra, this does not seem an unreasonable burden.
