[ Test case ]
Install the latest linux-6.17 kernel on Noble:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa3
$ sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-24.04-edge
Install oss4-dkms:
$ sudo apt install oss4-dkms
Module built and installed successfully
- The same procedure should be repeated on linux-6.8 to test for possible
- regressions.
+ The same procedure must be repeated on linux-6.8 and linux-6.14 to test
+ for possible regressions.
[ Fix ]
Patch to fix Kbuild and deprecated del_timer() call:
-debian/patches/Kbuild-Use-ccflags-y-instead-of-EXTRA_CFLAGS.patch
-debian/patches/Fix-timer-changes-in-Linux-6.15.patch
-create-ma-tree.sh, changing EXTRA_CFLAGS to ccflags-y
[ Regression potential ]
We may experience regressions in systems that are using the oss4
drivers, especially with kernels >= 6.8 kernel.
