Linux 6.8.4 seems to have broken v4l2loopback in several ways. #584

Closed coppice-git closed 6 months ago

coppice-git commented 6 months ago

Fedora 39 has updated to Linux kernel 6.8.4 and this has broken v4l2loopback in several ways: VFL_TYPE_GRABBER has gone. It seems VFL_TYPE_VIDEO should now be used instead, and is a direct replacement. strlcpy() has gone. It looks like strscpy should be used instead, and is a direct replacement. do_gettimeofday has gone. I think ktime_get() is supposed to be used now. setup_timer() has gone. I'm not sure what the replacement for this looks like.

Could you please replace the template description in the top posting with the actual description of the problem?

It says:

Please remove these instructions (and other non-relevant information) from your report. If your report looks like a copy of the template, it might get closed immediately.

F39 version of v4l2loopback is v0.12.7, which seems incompatible (and rather old) with Linux kernel 6.8.4, it will throw deps errors when attempting to modprobe. A workaround is to git clone and compile v4l2loopback, cfr. this tutorial section

Ah, so the issue is, that fedora ships a new kernel but an old v4l2loopback (that is known to not work with newer kernels anyhow, eg #570, #574, #575)?

Then I suppose, I can close this issue as "out of date".

(The template asks the module version for a reason... In any case I've updated the bug reporting template, so it becomes easier for people to provide the relevant information)

I must have made a typo somewhere and didn't actually update my local repo copy. I just did a fresh checkout, and things work OK now. Thanks.
