[Bug 2042059] Re: Failed to build against linux-unstable 6.6.0-8-generic: error: 'struct genl_info' has no member named 'userhdr'

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello You-Sheng, or anyone else affected,

Accepted backport-iwlwifi-dkms into mantic-proposed. The package will
build now and be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/backport-iwlwifi-
dkms/11289-0ubuntu1.23.10.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
mantic to verification-done-mantic. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-mantic. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  Failed to build against linux-unstable 6.6.0-8-generic: error: 'struct
  genl_info' has no member named 'userhdr'

Status in backport-iwlwifi-dkms package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in backport-iwlwifi-dkms source package in Mantic:
  Fix Committed
Status in backport-iwlwifi-dkms source package in Noble:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [SRU Justification]

  [Impact]

  backport-iwlwifi-dkms fails to compile against kernel > 6.6 due to API
  changes.

  [Fix]

  Upstream fix commit 8fd541f76cdc ("backport: genetlink: adjust to
  info->userhdr removal").

  [Test Case]
  ```
  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-kernel-team/unstable
  $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic-wip

  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vicamo/ppa-2042059
  $ sudo apt-get install backport-iwlwifi-dkms
  ```

  [Where problems could occur]

  We're pulling new upstream version with around 200+ commits for
  backport-iwlwifi-dkms/noble, but only backport the required fix commit
  for mantic. Likely to expect issue in Noble only.

  [Other Info]

  Mantic is nominated because we're still using mantic environment for
  preparing linux-unstable.
