- uio_pci_generic is not enabled in linux kernel package for ppc64el while - other architectures have it enabled. + [Impact] + uio_pci_generic is not enabled in linux kernel package for ppc64el while other architectures have it enabled. + This is useful for things like DPDK. + + [Test Case] + modprobe uio_pci_generic + + [Fix] + CONFIG_UIO_PCI_GENERIC=m for common ubuntu config + + -- Looking into git tree : ~/sources/pub/ubuntu.com/ubuntu-14.04-trusty$ git grep UIO_PCI_GENERIC debian.master/ debian.master/config/amd64/config.common.amd64:CONFIG_UIO_PCI_GENERIC=m debian.master/config/arm64/config.common.arm64:CONFIG_UIO_PCI_GENERIC=m debian.master/config/armhf/config.common.armhf:CONFIG_UIO_PCI_GENERIC=m debian.master/config/i386/config.common.i386:CONFIG_UIO_PCI_GENERIC=m debian.master/config/powerpc/config.common.powerpc:CONFIG_UIO_PCI_GENERIC=m debian.master/config/ppc64el/config.common.ppc64el:# CONFIG_UIO_PCI_GENERIC is not set I can't find a reason why it would be disabled only for ppc64el and I can see that utopic enables it for all architectures (common configuration). Can we have it enabled ? This module is used by dpdk (for example). - Thanks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1473109 Title: uio_pci_generic is not available in trusty kernel package for ppc64el To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1473109/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
