Title:
bionic: LINUX_VERSION_CODE incorrect?
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In linux/version.h there is a LINUX_VERSION_CODE define.
Issue: According to the Keepalived developer(s), the define set in
version 4.15.0-15.16, encoded value 265999, is incorrect. Instead of
4.15.0, it reflects 4.15.15. Seen on bionic.
See https://github.com/acassen/keepalived/issues/838 , their comments copied
here:
"Converting 265999 to hex gives 0x40F0F, which means kernel version 4.15.15.
This looks like linux/version.h is being incorrectly constructed, or there is a
mismatch between the running kernel and the kernel header files."
and
"The #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 265999 statement says that the headers
are for Linux version 4.15.15, so keepalived is correctly reporting
what is in linux/version.h header file.
This issue probably needs to be reported to Ubuntu since it looks like
the header file they are distributing is incorrect."
