Public bug reported: 3rd party kernel modules for Ubuntu 20.04 break due to the recently backported change of renaming GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN to GENHD_FL_NO_PART
linux-gcp-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1049 still uses GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN which the 3rd party kernel modules use, while linux- gcp-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1051 has brought the rename to GENHD_FL_NO_PART in. This is a breaking change and should not have been backported. The 3rd party modules have been updated for newer kernels on 22.04, but can't be updated on 20.04 with this breaking change. $ grep GENHD_FL_NO_PART /usr/src/linux-gcp-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1049/include/linux/genhd.h /usr/src/linux-gcp-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1051/include/linux/genhd.h /usr/src/linux-gcp-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1049/include/linux/genhd.h: * ``GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN`` (0x0200): partition scanning is disabled. /usr/src/linux-gcp-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1049/include/linux/genhd.h: * ``GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN``. /usr/src/linux-gcp-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1049/include/linux/genhd.h:#define GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN 0x0200 /usr/src/linux-gcp-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1049/include/linux/genhd.h: !(disk->flags & GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN); /usr/src/linux-gcp-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1051/include/linux/genhd.h: * ``GENHD_FL_NO_PART`` (0x0200): partition support is disabled. /usr/src/linux-gcp-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1051/include/linux/genhd.h: * ``GENHD_FL_NO_PART``. /usr/src/linux-gcp-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1051/include/linux/genhd.h:#define GENHD_FL_NO_PART 0x0200 /usr/src/linux-gcp-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1051/include/linux/genhd.h: return disk_max_parts(disk) > 1 && !(disk->flags & GENHD_FL_NO_PART); $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS Release: 20.04 $ apt policy linux-image-5.15.0-1051-gcp linux-image-5.15.0-1051-gcp: Installed: 5.15.0-1051.59~20.04.1 Candidate: 5.15.0-1051.59~20.04.1 Version table: *** 5.15.0-1051.59~20.04.1 500 500 http://australia-southeast1.gce.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: linux-image-5.15.0-1051-gcp 5.15.0-1051.59~20.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-1051.59~20.04.1-gcp 5.15.136 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-1051-gcp x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.27 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip Date: Wed Feb 14 12:07:11 2024 ProcEnviron: TERM=screen-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=C.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: linux-signed-gcp-5.15 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to focal on 2023-05-07 (282 days ago) ** Affects: linux-signed-gcp-5.15 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug apport-hook-error focal uec-images -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-signed-gcp-5.15 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2053101 Title: Backported rename of GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN to GENHD_FL_NO_PART breaks existing modules Status in linux-signed-gcp-5.15 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 3rd party kernel modules for Ubuntu 20.04 break due to the recently backported change of renaming GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN to GENHD_FL_NO_PART linux-gcp-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1049 still uses GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN which the 3rd party kernel modules use, while linux- gcp-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1051 has brought the rename to GENHD_FL_NO_PART in.
