Arch Linux User Repository

Looking at netatop, v3.0 is out now and available in the AUR. Please, is it possible to update netatop-dkms to v3.0? Thanks a lot in advance.

Package updated. Added patch for kernels >= 5.5 - big thanks to people who did all the research work. LTS kernels are now supported as well.

Patch for kernel>=5.5

git am < <(curl -s http://ix.io/1ovB)

IF the fix applied to netatop (not the dkms) for 5.5 kernels is correct, could you then please apply it to netatop-dkms, too. Thanks a lot.

it seems that, for the 5.5 kernels, the C code has changed somehow. I'm not A C coder, but it seems that the suggestion in the error of the dkms build just works.

dkms install -m netatop -v 2.0 -k 5.5.0-rc7-New #(my test 5.5rc kernel, just like linux-mainline)

---errordump--- /var/lib/dkms/netatop/2.0/build/netatop.c:969:33: error: 'struct task_struct' has no member named 'real_start_time'; did you mean 'start_time'? 969 | tip->btime = div_u64((current->real_start_time + | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | start_time ---errordump---

Now I just tried what it suggested and it worked:

sed -i 's/real_start_time/start_time/g' /usr/src/netatop-2.0/netatop.c

dkms install -m netatop -v 2.0 -k 5.5.0-rc7-New

Does this make sense what I'm saying? Or did I just get lucky? Hope this helps someone.

@m1kc thanks for this package.
@hrast i've just installed it and it built both dkms modules; the libalpm hooks take care of it automatically:
==> dkms install -m netatop -v 1.0 -k 4.4.22-1-lts
==> dkms install -m netatop -v 1.0 -k 4.7.4-1-ARCH
and it does work with both kernels.
not so for you?

I'm sorry. I've never tried to build this module against an LTS kernel and currently have no plans to support this option. However, if you have an idea how to make it work, feel free to submit a PR: https://github.com/m1kc/netatop-dkms

Can you update this to build using the linux-lts-headers instead of just linux-headers?

EDIT - Reading around, you may not be able to.

Package updated. Sorry for the delay.
