Fix Version: 6.0.0.37
Severity: Critical
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 6
Component/s: Kernel
I need to understand why a patch generated outside of kernel development shells is ignored by the flow and another patch with the same changes generated in the kernel development shell applies without any problem.
Patch generated without devshell (doesn't work)
0001-aer_inject.patch
Patch generated with devshell (works fine)
0001-aer_inject_devshell.patch
1. Create a project
configure --enable-parallel-pkgbuilds=10 --enable-jobs=10 --enable-checkout-all-layers=yes --enable-rm-oldimgs=yes --enable-sdkimage-staticlibs=yes --enable-reconfig --enable-bootimage=hdd,iso --enable-board=intel-x86-64 --enable-kernel=preempt-rt --enable-rootfs=ovp-kvm --enable-addons=wr-ovp --enable-internet-download=no --with-template=feature/initramfs,feature/build_libc --with-package=python --without-template=i40e --with-layer=meta-jnp_test_layer --with-rcpl-version=0035
2. modify the linux-windriver_3.10.bbappend file to absorb the 0001-aer_inject.patch" file.
3. make fs
4. Check that drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aer_inject.c in the kernel is not being modified. Hence, the patch is being ignored.
5. Modify again inux-windriver_3.10.bbappend fiel to abosorb this time the 0001-aer_inject_devshell.patch file.
6. make -C build linux-windriver.clean
7. make -C build linux-windriver.rebuild
8. This time drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aer_inject.c should contain the changes.
