All autopkgtests for the newly accepted linux-gcp-5.3 (5.3.0-1008.9~18.04.1) for bionic have finished running. The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:
linux-gcp-5.3/unknown (amd64) Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1]. https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed- migration/bionic/update_excuses.html#linux-gcp-5.3 [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Autopkgtest_Regressions Thank you! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846265 Title: shiftfs: rework how shiftfs opens files Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Eoan: Fix Committed Bug description: SRU Justification Impact: Currently, shiftfs maintains a kmem cache for struct shiftfs_file_info which stashes away a struct path and the struct file for the underlay. The path however is never used anywhere so the struct shiftfs_file_info and therefore the whole kmem cache can go away. This removes code and makes the whole logic simpler to understand and reason about. Fix: Remove the kmem cache for struct shiftfs_file_info and struct shiftfs_file_info itself and move to the same model as overlayfs and just stash away the struct file for the underlay in file->private_data of the shiftfs struct file Regression Potential: Limited to shiftfs. The basic logic is unchanged. It is just simplified so regression potential should be fairly low. Test Case: Tested with LXD on a kernel with the patch applied and running various standard workloads without any observable regressions. Target Kernels: All LTS kernels with support for shiftfs.
