............
This, and the other stable kernels released today, consist of only some
reverts to solve some reported problems with the last round of stable
releases. Upgrading is not required, but highly recommended.......

This obviously explains the -rc1 that happened immediately after yesterday's releases (without previews on LKML)

Note, this is the LAST 5.13.y kernel release. This branch is now end-of-life.

Nope. Same exact problem as I had with -rc1.
I'm not going to waste anymore time on it. Maybe by -rc7 or -rc8, I'll try again.

Have you tried disabling :

# CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST

?

MarcT · 09-20-2021, 09:36 AM

5.14.6 from -current segfaults for me, same as ethtool_get_rxnfc: Buffer overflow detected (8 < 192)!

Looks like it's already fixed in mainline under commit dd98d2895de6. I've just rebuilt the kernel with the same fix (reboot pending), and assuming it works - could we have an official patched kernel for -current ?

Edited to add this fix resolves the segfault, as expected.

Yes, that appears to be the default.

FWIW, 5.14.6 is working just fine here.
