https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42812 Summary: kvm module has bogus kernel version check Product: Virtualization Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: kvm AssignedTo: virtualization_kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: mcbbzko@xxxxxxxxxx Regression: No In kvm-kmod-3.2, x86/external-module-compat.h, line 1102 the following check is present: #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,37) || \ (LINUX_VERSION_CODE == KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,32) && KERNEL_EXTRAVERSION < 40) The second half is bogus, since if kernel version is 2.6.32, it would have matched the < 2.6.37 anyway. Maybe the 2,6,32 should read 2,6,37 instead? (that would make more sense, but may not be right!) This check appears to be present since kvm-kmod release 3.0b, which makes it unlikely many people tried it with 2.6.27.40+ kernels and found it to be a problem... -- Maarten -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
