| Summary | 0000862: Enable CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES in kernel-ml/lt for both el6 and el7 | ||||
| Description | The distro kernel has: CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y (both el6 and el7) It is enabled in kernel-lt in el7 but not el6. It is disabled in kernel-ml in both el6 and el7. | ||||
| Additional Information | Original request in #elrepo: < Pix> Hi guys, could it be possible to enable " CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES: " in the next kernel-lt builds ? it seems needed by docker (and docker's check-config.sh script confirms it) | ||||

Acknowledged. Looking in the master configuration files for the current versions of the sources we see -- [kernels]$ grep -r CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES * | grep -E '4\.4\.138|4\.17\.3|4\.18\.0' | sort el6/config-4.4/config-4.4.138-i686:# CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is not set el6/config-4.4/config-4.4.138-i686-NONPAE:# CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is not set el6/config-4.4/config-4.4.138-x86_64:# CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is not set el7/config-4.4/config-4.4.138-x86_64:CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y [kernels]$ (As of the date of this request linux-4.4.138.tar.xz, linux-4.17.3.tar.xz and linux-4.18-rc2.tar.gz are the current sources used for the builds of the kernel-{lt|ml} package sets.) The fact that the string "# CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is not set" is only shown for the EL6 kernel-lt package and NOT for either the EL6 or the EL7 kernel-ml package will require investigation. |
|
|
The configuration option DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES ceases to exist as from linux-4.7, hence the absence of the string "# CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is not set" in the output of my search, above. CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y will be set in the next build of the kernel-lt package set for EL6. |
|
|
I confirm that DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES has been removed from the config option: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8852011/ (found in Linux kernels: 2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.6) |

If you wish after that i can write some small wiki doc on how to use docker 17+ on centos6 because you "only need" the fixed kernel, python 3.x ( available via a lot of means on centos6 ) to have a working setup |
|
|
@Pix I suppose you mean the CentOS wiki? I see a minimal section for 'CentOS 6' in: https://wiki.centos.org/Container/Tools |
|
|
With the recent release of the kernel-lt-4.4.139-1.el6.elrepo package set [1] this requested configuration adjustment has been fulfilled. Now closing as "resolved/fixed". [1] http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2018-July/004325.html |
