Ask for service release providing 6.15 compatibility

System information

Type Version/Name
Distribution Name Gentoo
Distribution Version current
Kernel Version 6.14
Architecture AMD64
OpenZFS Version 2.3.2

Describe the problem you're observing

As I just upgraded to RDNA4 graphics, I would really like to use kernel 6.15, due to ongoing fixes by AMD. So I would really like to see a service release of OpenZFS for Linux providing 6.15 compatibility.

Describe how to reproduce the problem

N/A

Include any warning/errors/backtraces from the system logs

please use search upfront https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues?q=6.15 gives you https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/17229 https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/17371 https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/17393 there's also https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/discussions/17310 TLDR: same as with Arch, rolling releases and new hardware in general: ZFS isn't as fast as kernel developement - if you require ZFS for 6.15 you can take a look at experimental flag: https://github.com/n0xena/archzfs/pull/19 - but due to 2.3.2 not compatible with 6.15 this fails (at least on Arch) - so just wait for 2.3.3 with proper 6.15 support

as for 6.16: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/17443 - it's already worked on

WTF, I searched multiple time exactly looking for this and did not get it???

EDIT: Ok, found it, I had searched in the issues tab, so the search was limited to issues.

the key is to remove the default filters is:issue/is:pr and is:open so you search in both issues and PRs and all statuses unfortunate this doesn't include discussions

Is there a specific issue with 2.3 releases and kernel 6.15 or just in progress, as I'm a bit puzzled to see a 2.2 release for 6.15 first?

manschwetus avatar Jun 19 '25 10:06 manschwetus

Just in progress. 2.2 is the LTS, so it gets very few changes. 2.3 is the stable series, lots more fixes and updates going into that, which takes longer.

#17468

well at least on Arch 6.15.2 there were quite a few fails https://github.com/archzfs/archzfs/pull/594#issuecomment-2984907171

well at least on Arch 6.15.2 there were quite a few fails archzfs/archzfs#594 (comment)

I have some doubts about validity of the test. Too many errors at once, while official CI for all tested OS'es came clean.

@amotin as discussed over at archzfs I did a new run after dealing with the dependencies: https://github.com/n0xena/archzfs/pull/26#issuecomment-2989653297

the libaio skip is due to the archzfs build environment doesn't pull in the required libaio before the autoconf/configure/make call and hence mmap_libaio doesn'T get build - have to look into this

the pyzfs fail is cause by ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cffi' - so I guess also an easy fix

the other three fails are nothin I worry about myself as I don't use these features but I guess looking into them and fixing the required stuff should be doable

overall the test now look way cleaner thanks to you - and it also got some nice input in the further development of the archzfs repo
