Compile error on Oracle kernel-uek R7

[Lathanderjk]

There is no problem compiling for Oracle kernel-uek R6 (based on upstream 5.4) but on R7 ( 5.15, gcc 11) it`s throwing error

What is this kernel version("5.15.0-5.76.5.1.el8uek.x86_64") ? This seems custom kernel. We support only mainline kernel version.

[neheb]

RHEL based kernel.

[namjaejeon]

Okay, But ksmbd is using KERNEL_VERSION macro to distinguish each kernel versions. When I see "5.15.0-5.76.5.1.el8uek.x86_64" name, he doesn't update PATCHLEVEL and SUBLEVEL in Makefile of kernel.

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(5, 17, 0) || \
    (LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(5, 15, 52) && LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(5, 16, 0))
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(6, 0, 0)
        vfsuid = make_vfsuid(mnt_userns, &init_user_ns, pace->e_uid);
#else
        kuid = mapped_kuid_fs(mnt_userns, &init_user_ns, pace->e_uid);
#endif
#else
        kuid = kuid_into_mnt(mnt_userns, pace->e_uid);
#endif  

See Makefile in mainline kernel. They should check them in Makefile of their kernel.

Maybe @zx2c4 can help. These enterprise kernel are "special"

Problem persist and looks like there is same problem on default RHEL9 kernel 5.14.0-284.25.1.0.1.el9_2.x86_64

Even on kernel 6.4.9-1.el8.elrepo.x86_64 from elrepo build fails, incompatible with recent kernels?

Kernel uek R6 and also kernel-lt(5.4.252-1.el8.elrepo.x86_64)  works fine.

[neheb]

Still an issue?
