It is safe to say we can label this as a 2.5 item now.

With this the build only fails with an:

lustre-2.3.63/libcfs/libcfs/linux/linux-lwt.c:60: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member named ‘oomkilladj’

I could not find a patch for this.

After http://review.whamcloud.com/5655 be landed. This problem will disappear.

Since my patch from LU-1812 impacts this work I piece together a recipe to be able to build a fc18 lustre ZFS server. The patches needed are:

http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,4649 - LU-1812 kernel: 3.0/SuSE and 3.6/FC18 server patches
http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5973 - LU-2686 kernel: sock_map_fd replaced by sock_alloc_file
http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5974 - LU-2686 kernel: Kernel update for 3.7.2-201.fc18
http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5768 - LU-2850 compat: posix_acl_

With this the build only fails with an:

This can also be linked to LU-1812. Also some patches from LU-2800 are needed.

[James A Simmons]

Can this ticket be linked to LU-2850 since the work over laps. The patches here are more up to date but LU-2850 has additional patches that missing here.

[James A Simmons]

Hi Yang Sheng, LU-2850 has been created for client 3.8 kernel support.

[Yang Sheng]

Hi, PengTao, Just file a ticket and submit patch. I'll close this one.

[Peng Tao]

Hi Yang Sheng,

What is the status of this ticket? I am going to work on latest kernel support for upstream kernel (which is 3.8 now) and would like to coordinate with you so that we duplicate efforts.

Thanks,
Tao
