Compatibility request for linux 4.18

[krrk]

I cannot build spl using the latest rc kernel from Ubuntu: 4.18.0-041800rc3-generic.

Here is the error.

  CC [M]  spl/module/splat/splat-list.o
spl/module/spl/spl-vnode.c: In function ‘vn_getattr’:
spl/module/spl/spl-vnode.c:308:16: error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘struct timespec’ from type ‘struct timespec64’
  vap->va_atime = stat.atime;
                ^

What is zfs and spl packages versions?

Stable branch is not compatible with 4.18 yet, please wait for next release https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/releases

I am using commit 1149b62d (HEAD~1). This is just before preparing the repository for merging with zfs.

@krrk please see https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/commit/6413c95fbd88dc06ae57e50398b8530a17d0c7d3 , it's already fixed in master.

Closed as fixed.

We expect to backport the 4.18 fixes for the 0.7.10 point release.

When is the next release planned? The previous releases seem to have been monthly, but the last one was in May.

Apoligies @Nikratio, I've been slow on getting the next release out since I've been on baby bonding leave (and still am). I'd like to have the next release out before the OpenZFS conference on Sept 10th.

Congratulations! I hope everyone is well.

Could you say a few words about the release procedure? Are you simply taking a snapshot of master, or is there an extensive testing phase? I'm trying to decide if I can risk to compile from Git for now...

[tonyhutter]

I cherry pick from all the patches from the project page (https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/projects/18) into the zfs-0.7-release branch, build/test them, and if everything looks good, build the RPMs and release it.

If you're just trying to get something stable working on the latest kernel right now, then checkout the zfs-0.7-release branch, and apply any compatibility patches until it builds for you.
