  • qla2xxx - different vermagic from kernel

    Posted on

    Hello,

    My kernel has a driver which doesn't support HP SN1100Q HBA.

    Old version:

    # modinfo qla2xxx | grep version
    version:        8.07.00.18.07.2-k
    rhelversion:    7.2
    srcversion:     033AD346E10118BEAEDDACB
    vermagic:       3.10.0-327.59.3.el7.x86_64 SMP mod_unload modversions
    

    This is the output of

    systool
    :

    # systool -c fc_host -v
    Error opening class fc_host
    

    HPE procedure recommends updating the driver with:

    # rpm -Uvh kmod-qla2xxx-8.07.00.33.07.3_k-1.el7_2.x86_64.rpm
    

    After the update

    systool
    command shows hosts and on both ports state is 'Online'.

    Here is the

    modprobe
    output after the update:

    # modprobe -v qla2xxx
    insmod /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.59.3.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_tgt.ko
    insmod /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.59.3.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_fc.ko
    insmod /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.59.3.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/qlgc-qla2xxx/qla2xxx.ko
    

    So everything works, except vermagic. It is different from running kernel:

    # modinfo -n qla2xxx
    /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.59.3.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/qla2xxx/qla2xxx.ko
    
    # modinfo -k `uname -r` -n qla2xxx
    /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.59.3.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/qla2xxx/qla2xxx.ko
    
    # modinfo qla2xxx |grep version
    version:        8.07.00.33.07.3-k
    rhelversion:    7.2
    srcversion:     2E3D7D57C83E449AC6AF494
    vermagic:       3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64 SMP mod_unload modversions
    

    Is this going to be a problem? Is it possible to change the vermagic flag?

    Thank you. Regards
