Updating test case to make clear that both the release and hwe kernels require testing for this patch, but otherwise looks good -- sponsoring.
** Description changed: [Impact] libvpoll-eventfd is completely unusable as it will fail to install for a Jammy user with the following error: ./include/linux/export.h:29:22: error: passing argument 1 of ‘class_create’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] 29 | #define THIS_MODULE (&__this_module) | ~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | struct module * /var/lib/dkms/vpoll/0.1/build/vpoll.c:117:44: note: in expansion of macro ‘THIS_MODULE’ [Test case] - A simple testcase to confirm the build failure is fixed + To be tested on both the release kernel (5.15), which is currently + unaffected but may be affected by the fix, and the hwe kernel (6.5), + which is intended to be fixed by this SRU. + + The following should fail with the current, and succeed with the + proposed vpoll-dkms under kernel 6.5, and should be succeed under both + with release kernel 5.15: $ sudo apt install vpoll-dkms - Another testcase to test the basic sanity of the package to confirm its working: + Another testcase to test the basic sanity of the package to confirm its + working (again, test on both release and hwe kernels): + 1.

[ Where problems could occur ] Users of vpoll may experience regressions (restricted to this module) using the new 6.5 kernel. [ Other Info ] Backport the changes in the vpoll kernel module to properly support the new linux 6.5 kernel ABI.
