[LU-11720] SRPM unnecessarily tied to kernel version

• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Major
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.13.0, Lustre 2.10.7, Lustre 2.12.1
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 2.12.0, Lustre 2.10.5, Lustre 2.10.6
• Severity: 3
• Assignee: Nathaniel Clark
• Reporter: Nathaniel Clark

Description

Source rpms (e.g. lustre-2.10.5-1.src.rpm) are tied to the kernel version they were originally built against by kmp-lustre.preamble.

# rpm -i lustre-2.10.5-1.src.rpm
# cd rpmbuild/SOURCE
# cat kmp-lustre.preamble
Obsoletes:      %{name}-modules < %{version}
Requires:       kernel < 3.10.0-863, kernel >= 3.10.0-862

This prevents the rpm from being rebuild via rpmbuild --rebuild lustre-2.10.5-1.src.rpm on other el releases (e.g. el7.4).

WORKAROUND

1. Install source rpm
2. Edit rpmbuild/SOURCE/kmp-lustre.preamble for correct kernel version
3. build from spec: rpm -bb rpmbuild/SPEC/lustre.spec

Issue Links

• is duplicated by: LU-11793 failed to install lustre kmod rpms rebuilt from source rpm
• is related to: LU-9731 kmods need to be limited to EL minor release kernel
• is related to: LU-12141 Wrong requires kernel version detected of lustre kmod built against target rhel7.6

Nathaniel, can you please investigate?

This issue was created by LU-9731.

 

This issue is ONLY present when the source rpm is created via lbuild.

Using make srpm results in an srpm without the offending Requires line, but one that may also fall victim to LU-9731.
