Description Gary Ching-Pang Lin 2016-03-01 09:05:48 UTC

The NVME ioctl codes were moved from nvme.h to nvme_ioctl.h(*) in the linux kernel to separate the kernel API from the userspace API. However, nvme_ioctl.h wasn't added into the list of kernel headers properly so there is no nvme_ioctl.h in linux-glibc-devel and this means that no kernel header contains the NVME ioctl codes. Kernel upstream already includes a fix(**) and we need to update linux-glibc-devel since efivar was affected.

Comment 1 Gary Ching-Pang Lin 2016-03-01 09:18:30 UTC

Forgot to mention that it only happened with linux-glibc-devel-4.4.

Comment 2 Gary Ching-Pang Lin 2016-03-09 06:52:11 UTC

I just updated efivar to remove the dependency of the NVME kernel header.

sorry for the late response, this dropped from my list. nvme_ioctl.h is there in tumbleweed.
