This is the backport of fuse kernel modules. Currently it supports RHEL/Rocky 9.5 and 9.6. It will upgrade the fuse API version from 7.37 to 7.39 and provide io_uring support.
Building Kmods and akmods are supported through kmodtool:
- Install
kmodtool,rpmbuild, and related kernel module tools if dependencies don't install them. - Download the latest version from github releases
- Copy the downloaded file to your
rpmbuild/SOURCESdirectory. You may also need to untar it to get the spec files. - Build user space rpm by redhat/fuse-kernel-modules.spec.
- Build kernel modules rpm by redhat/fuse-kmod.spec.
By default, the akmods will be built. To build kmods, pass the kernel versions by --define kernels. For example:
# Build user space modules
rpmbuild -ba redhat/fuse-kernel-modules.spec
# Build akmods
rpmbuild -ba redhat/fuse-kmod.spec
# Build kmods
rpmbuild -ba --define "kernels 5.14.0-570.26.1.el9_6.x86_64 5.14.0-503.40.1.el9_5.x86_64" \
redhat/fuse-kmod.spec
Currently only the above two kernel versions are supported for building kmods while it should be good enough to support all RHEL/Rocky 9.5/9.6 kernels. You will need to install the kernel-devel rpms. You may use this workflow file as a reference.
Direct make and make install are also supported. Use src/5.14.0-503.40.1.el9_5 for RHEL/Rocky 9.5 and src/5.14.0-570.26.1.el9_6 for RHEL/Rocky 9.6. Do not make at the top directory.
The codes under src are maintained at https://github.com/openunix/linux . Raising PRs or issues for either of the two projects are welcomed.
