description |
Since backport-iwlwifi version 9241[1], a new module iwlmei was introduced but not yet included in the dkms.conf installed. This fails the kernel module loading with:
iwlwifi: Unknown symbol iwl_mei_is_connected (err -2)
[1]: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git/commit/?id=71e53a8aae592d02972522561eac899311ea9319 |
[SRU Justification]
[Impact]
backport-iwlwifi-dkms has a few problems to prevent it from loading either kernel modules itself or the runtime firmware correctly.
The first issue is "unknown symbol iwl_mei_is_connected" error at module probing. This affects revsions >= 9241 where iwlmei module was first introduced in commit 71e53a8aae59 ("mirror: multi-input commit"). This can be addressed by cherry picking commit cc7d59edeeae ("[BUGFIX][NOUPSTREAM] iwlwifi: bump min kernel version for iwlmei") of rev 9255 that bumps iwlmei prerequisite kernel version to 5.14, and commit 87dce6e9817a ("[BUGFIX][NOUPSTREAM] iwlwifi: iwlmei isn't going to be merged anytime soon") of rev 9543 that bumps to 5.20. Therefore this affects Impish & Jammy that currently have 9340.
The second problem is that even we addressed 9340 with aforementioned fix backported, the iwlwifi module may still fail to load firmware that is known fixed in at least 9580 that is being proposed. This would affects Focal oem-5.14 as well.
[Fix]
Bump to 9580 that fixes both issues stated above.
[Test Case]
Compile and run against Focal oem-5.14/hwe-5.13/hwe-5.15 kernels, as well as Impish 5.13 and Jammy 5.15.
[Where problems could occur]
While the revision number represents the commits since the git root commit of backport-iwlwifi, this is going to back port more than a thousand commits for Focal (8324 -> 9580) and 240 ones for Impish/Jammy (9340 -> 9580), there can always be issue like we have here now or later for kernels of a more recent version. While this package is to enable people running legacy kernels to be able to enjoy their new toys, new hardware support and bug fixes shall be backported as long as needed to justify its name "backport-iwlwifi-dkms" here.
