@Bevan: Thank you for the quick solution.

I guess it is caused by this change, enabling the backup scripts in tar: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/tar/-/commit/23d47df2369e70dba362ac0e70036baef2475bdb#9b9baac1eb9b72790eef5540a1685306fc43fd6c_37_40

Still, I would not call this a tar issue. /usr/bin/backup is a very generic name to use and OpenAFS is quite niche while everyone uses tar. So I think we should rename the binary in this package.

Conflict with tar?

I'm getting the following error when upgrading tar:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) tar: /usr/bin/backup exists in filesystem (owned by openafs)

Probably an tar issue?

The kernel BUG with Linux 6.5 should now be fixed in openafs-modules 1.8.10-4 and openafs-modules-dkms 1.8.10-4.

@Bevan: Thank you. I should have guessed that. I'm using openafs-modules-dkms. And now it works for me.

@drslmr: You need to patch the openafs-modules or openafs-modules-dkms package, depending on which of the two you are using. This package (openafs) does not need to be patched as it does not contain any kernel-specific code.

I am planning to roll out exactly that change later today.

Just for curiosity I tried to patch openafs 1.8.10-1 with e18f420.diff from gerrit.

I installed the patched openafs package and upgraded to kernel 6.5.5. I also reinstalled openafs-modules-dkms.

But the BUG still occurs.

Could anyone tell me what I missed?

Bevan commented on 2023-09-22 18:15 (UTC)

Just a heads up: The kernel BUG with Linux 6.5 is a false alarm in the sense that no actual buffer overflow occurs. However, it leaves the system in quite a bad state where syncs just hang and the system won't properly shut down anymore.

A patch is developed and discussed at https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/15573/. Currently, there are different opinions on which of two solution is preferable. I may add a minimal patch to the openafs-modules packages as soon as I'm confident that the patch does no harm.

For now, using linux-lts stays the safest option.

The issue is easily reproducible. I could not find any related patch and for me it's not trivial to fix either. So I posted to the openafs-devel mailing list: https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-devel/2023-September/020888.html

@alexiri I was just about to post the same thing. I downgraded linux 6.4.12.arch1-1.
