dkms: autoinstall for kernel: 6.5.0-rc5 failed!

[xevilstar]

Dear Maintainers,

here is the fixed header with it the code compiles smoothly

linux-compat.h.gz

Sadly the ovpn modules fails to compile under kernel 6.5-rc5

proposed fix

https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1919159.html

Followup-For: Bug #1043116
Control: tag -1 sid trixie

The fix may be as simple as adding

        #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(6,5,0)
        #include <net/gso.h>
        #endif

somewhere.
That's all I had to do for fixing r8168-dkms which had the same error.

Same issue since kernel v6.4.10, adding

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(6,4,10)
#include <net/gso.h>
#endif

in the include directives of drivers/net/ovpn-dco/ovpn.c allowed me to compile the module.

Thanks!

Thanks for the report and for the hints guys! I will fix ovpn-dco accordingly as soon as I have a chance to get to my workstation

[ordex]

Feel free to test latest master and report any finding. Thanks!

Hi,

thanks for this fix!

I'm wonder whether it is possible to upload ovpn-dco codebase to fedora copr repository? Currently on FC38 it is impossible to install ovpn-dco from copr because of this compilation error:

[fakemanhk]

I find that in OpenWrt, this also having same error when I compile.

[ordex]

@fakemanhk the fix is in master

[amarinderca]

When will this make it to the openvpn rhel 9 repository?

[flichtenheld]

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dsommers/openvpn3/ has been updated with the new version. packages.openvpn.net/openvpn3 will be updated some time this week. The only difference is that packages on packages.openvpn.net are officially supported.
