Quick update on Linux 6.18 support: There are patches in development for Linux 6.18 (https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/q/project:openafs+branch:master+topic:linux-6.18) which I will apply here as soon as the discussion around those patches settles a bit. For now, I recommend using linux-lts if you rely on OpenAFS.

In case, anyone else is wondering: The compilation fails on latest 6.18 with osi_vfsops.c:57:12: Fehler: Implizite Deklaration der Funktion »mount_nodev« [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] 57 | return mount_nodev(fs_type, flags, data, afs_fill_super);

I traced it down to the removal mount_nodev from 6.18. The developers seem to be aware about it: https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/16646/ and also about more 6.18 related issues: https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/q/topic:linux-6.18+(status:open+OR+status:merged)

EDIT: After manually applything the patches from the links I provided, I can confirm, that the module now compiles and is working on 6.18. This package here (as well as openafs-modules-dkms) should ideally add these patches until they are distributed in a new upstream release.

Thanks a lot Bevan for your very quick fix! It works fine for me.

I just updated this package to make the OpenAFS kernel module build against Linux 5.18. For that I had to use patches that are still under development (they were updated just a few hours ago) and that are not yet accepted for integration into the OpenAFS codebase. On top of that, I had to backport these patches and additional changes from git master to the OpenAFS 1.8.x branch. You should therefore take the current state of this package as experimental. I tested this build as best as I can in my small test cell. However, I won't be responsible for any data loss that people might encounter because of using this package.

If you use this package with Linux 5.18, please report your experience here. These reports might help to get the necessary changes accepted in upstream's stable branch.

Bevan: thanks a lot in advance!

Right, we need a couple of patches again to make OpenAFS compatible with Linux 5.18: https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/q/status:open+project:openafs+branch:master+topic:linux-5.18

I will probably not be able to update this package before tomorrow or the day after.

Bevan: thanks a lot for the super-prompt fix!

silvest: Confirmed and there are patches for Linux 5.17 available. I'll update this and the openafs-modules-dkms package shortly.
