Zfs: Support for Linux 4.14 in ZOL 0.7.4 ?

Created on 6 Dec 2017  路  6Comments  路  Source: openzfs/zfs

It appears that release 0.7.3 does not support Linux kernel 4.14 - at least not explicitly. Should we (users) expect release 0.7.4 with this support explicitly listed? Thank you for all your good work :)

@farwayer 0.7.4 should be out next week. The patches currently in the zfs-0.7-release branch are the ones I'm going to use. It's just a matter of going though all the motions to generate a release.

@Bronek correct, 4.14 will be supported on zfs-0.7.4.

@tonyhutter any ETA for 0.7.4? It is already fixed in spl and patch is not too large. So maybe it's better to release fix as 0.7.3.1?

The last line of the https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/releases/tag/zfs-0.7.4 release notes is

Linux 4.15 compat: timer updates #670 #671

I don't know if it's too late to change, but these should specify they're SPL issues, and hopefully link across there...

There was a question on zfs-discuss about this:

...oops, sorry, that was meant to go into #7051. Reposting over there...
