Add sfc to nic-modules udeb

[Leann Ogasawara]

== [Trusty][Vivid]SRU Justification ==

It is being requested that we add the sfc driver to the nic-modules udeb to facilitate PXE booting nodes with Solarflare network adapters.

== Fix ==
Add the sfc driver to our nic-modules udeb. This is being requested for
Trusty and Vivid. Note, this has already been applied to Wily master-next.

== Testing ==
I've done test builds of Wily, Vivid, and Trusty and can confirm the sfc driver is seeded into the nic-modules udeb:

$ dpkg -c nic-modules-4.2.0-3-generic-di_4.2.0-3.3_amd64.udeb | grep "sfc.ko"
-rw-r--r-- root/root 495305 2015-08-04 22:17 ./lib/modules/4.2.0-3-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/sfc.ko

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Submitted to the Ubuntu kernel-team mailing list as an SRU for Trusty and Vivid.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

This patch has been applied to our Trusty and Vivid kernel tree's. I've marked those tasks as "Fix Committed". Thanks.

Can we double-check that the required dependency was also added?
In our testing, we needed to also add the module "mtd" in order to proceed.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Noting the sfc dependency list:

$ modinfo sfc | grep "depends"
depends: mtd,mdio,ptp,i2c-algo-bit

I've done some test builds for Wily, Vivid, and Trusty and can confirm the sfc dependencies are indeed also included in the udeb (and specifically mtd is included):

Thank you for confirming this. Do you have an idea of what sort of timescale a new release of the Trusty netboot image will be? The July 29 image is still the last version posted.
If it is not soon, the end customer would be happy to accept a pre-release image from Canonical.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Sorry for the delayed response. This fix is queued in our Trusty kernel which will start undergoing the kernel SRU process on Mon Aug 17. That kernel will undergo a 3 week regression testing process before we'll promote that kernel to the trusty-updates pocket, ie ETA is Sept 5. However, once this kernel hits trusty-proposed next week we can engage with the release team to respin d-i so that both are in sync and available for testing from a end user's perspective.

[Luis Henriques (henrix)]

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-trusty' to 'verification-done-trusty'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Hello,

Do you know when this d-i fix will be built/synced in the initrd.gz file
on the Ubuntu site for trusty updates located here ?

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz

Will it be on the trusty-proposed site as well?

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-proposed/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz

Thanks,
Bob

Here's the same change that cyphermox just uploaded, but applied to vivid.

[Adam Conrad (adconrad)]

Hello Leann, or anyone else affected,

Accepted debian-installer into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/20101020ubuntu318.30 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 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, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

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

[Adam Conrad (adconrad)]

Note that the trusty d-i will need to respin again after the current kernel SRU cycle to pick up the lts-utopic fix, so once this is tested and copied to -updates, please reopen the trusty/d-i task so we can do it all over again.

[Dave Chiluk (chiluk)]

Thanks for spinning the new install images. I have confirmed that the 3.13.0-65 kernel netboot install worked without a hich. However I do not have sfc hardware to test with.

[mrobinson-o (mrobinson-o)]

I can confirm that the Trusty vivid-netboot image booted/installed correctly over a SolarFlare SFN7122F card:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-proposed/main/installer-amd64/current/images/vivid-netboot/netboot.tar.gz

TEST CASE:
1. Unpack netboot.tar.gz into TFTP directory
2. Configure DHCP server so that test server will be directed to request 'pxelinux.0' from the TFTP server
3. PXE boot the test server (Dell R610), selecting the SolarFlare interface
4. Proceed through install script. When selecting a mirror for downloads, specify the required HTTP proxy address
5. Continue through rest of install script. Specify a unique hostname.
6. Reboot test server and check that installation is successful (i.e. boots up with correct hostname)

VERIFICATION DONE
Test server has Ubuntu installed on its local hard disk and can boot locally.

[mrobinson-o (mrobinson-o)]

Has the Trusty image with the Utopic kernel (v.3.16) been re-built? When I tried booting this version it just hung:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-proposed/main/installer-amd64/current/images/utopic-netboot/netboot.tar.gz

[Dave Chiluk (chiluk)]

@mrobinson-o The trusty image with the Utopic image is waiting on a new build and test cycle of the utopic kernel before those images can be built. It is in process. We were able to simply rebuild the images for 3.13 and 3.19 as the sfc driver was already available in those kernels.
