As pointed out by Justing Forbes in the last FESCo Meeting [1], the
kernel FTBFS in rawhide for x86 arch.
I fired a scratch build in koji to check the error [2]. Which throws
ERROR: "__udivdi3" [net/netfilter/xt_hashlimit.ko] undefined!
As Alexander Ploumistos pointed out in another thread, the issue is
already known upstream.
A patch for the issue was already applied upstream. See [4] and [5].
I applied the patch to our kernel and fired a scratch koji build [6],
which built successfully, and a COPR build [7], which was still running
in the moment I wrote this message. The reason for the COPR build was
that I needed to make some changes to the way I was applying the patch
and I felt bad for keeping the build servers busy.
My question is, what is next? Do we just wait for some of the kernel
packagers to pull the changes related to this issue, or should I submit
this patch to the mailing list?
