Public bug reported: [ Impact ] Commit 35e8d405b009 "fs: export an inode_update_time helper" (upstream commit e60feb445fce9e51c1558a6aa7faf9dd5ded533b), applied to hirsure:linux via upstream stable broke the build of aufs. The function 'update_time()' is used by aufs and was exported before by a SAUCE patch (0d3312035010 "UBUNTU: SAUCE: Import aufs driver").
[ Fix ] The proposed fix is to patch aufs to use the new function name. There is no functional change. [ Test ] Build a 5.11 kernel with AUFS enabled. [ Where problems could occur ] By keeping the new function name, if any other internal or external module is using 'update_time()' their build will also fail. This will need to be address case-by-case. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Hirsute) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Hirsute) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Hirsute) Status: New => Confirmed -- 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/1958228 Title: aufs build is broken on 5.11 kernels Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Hirsute: Confirmed Bug description: [ Impact ] Commit 35e8d405b009 "fs: export an inode_update_time helper" (upstream commit e60feb445fce9e51c1558a6aa7faf9dd5ded533b), applied to hirsure:linux via upstream stable broke the build of aufs.
