Bug Description

[Impact]

The current version of zfs-dkms available in lunar (2.1.5) fails to build with kernels >= 6.1.

[Test case]

$ apt install zfs-dkms

[Fix]

Resync with the latest zfs-linux from debian unstable and apply the following upstream patch to properly support linux 6.1:

ecb6a5081 ("Linux 6.1 compat: change order of sys/mutex.h includes")

[Regression potential]

Newer version of zfs can introduce potential regressions, so this change should be limited to lunar for now.

zfs-dkms-2.1.6.debdiff Edit (60.9 KiB, text/plain)

With the debdiff in attach applied (on top of the latest debian unstable zfs) everything seems to work fine on the latest lunar/linux-unstable (6.1.0-9-generic).

This bug was fixed in the package zfs-linux - 2.1.7-1ubuntu1

---------------
zfs-linux (2.1.7-1ubuntu1) lunar; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian Unstable (LP: #1998487), remaining changes:
    - debian/control:
      + drop dependencies on "zfs-modules | zfs-dkms" such that all
    packages can be installed in containers, on hosts that have zfs module
    loaded.
      + change initramfs/dracut packages to only Ubuntu-64bit
    architectures, zfs is not well supported on 32bit arches
    - debian/rules:
      + enforce abi check on Ubuntu amd64
    - debian/tests/control:
      + reduce testing to smoketest only
      + Ubuntu Kernel regression testing covers zfs testsuite
    - debian/patches:
      + Apply Ubuntu patchset to integrate with zsys
