Hey,

I did the following that cause depmod.sh to drop core

$ fedpkg --dist 16 srpm $ rpm -ihv kernel-3.1.0-10.idmap.fc17.src.rpm $ rpmbuild -bb --without tools --with firmware --target x86_64 kernel.spec

which cause the following error: /home/src/f16/build/BUILD/kernel-3.1.fc15/linux-3.1.x86_64/scripts/depmod.sh: line 43: 10982 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$DEPMOD" "$@" "$KERNELRELEASE" make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 139 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.JhZ0CH (%build)

The entire log is at: http://people.redhat.com/steved/.tmp/build-coredump

here's your problem...

cp: writing `/home/steved/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/kernel-3.1.0-10.idmap.fc15.x86_64/lib/modules/3.1.0-10.idmap.fc15.x86_64/kernel/net/sunrpc/sunrpc.ko': No space left on device mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/steved/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/kernel-3.1.0-10.idmap.fc15.x86_64/lib/modules/3.1.0-10.idmap.fc15.x86_64/kernel/net/sunrpc/xprtrdma': No space left on device

Yeah... I just saw that... thanks...

(whatever depmod is calling shouldn't be dumping core of course, but this is the cause of it)

true..

Hi

I know you guys follow upstream pretty closely, but under what circumstances would Fedora consider applying a patch to the kernel which might be not be in the current merge tree? For context I give you this one?

http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=131973404328622

It's acked by one of the USB maintainers, so that goes a long way.

Mostly I'm curious, I'll be applying it local anyway

I saw a bug comment go flying by pointing to this same patch, but I can't recall what bug it was. Did you point to this in a bug, if so which one?

Since you're applying it locally, I'm wondering if you can let us know if it solves that particular bug.
