RPM version 4.11.3
After compiling the KMOD modules of Lustre 2.12.9 with ZFS 0.7.13 on CentOS 7.9, kernel 3.10.0-1160.49.1. When trying to install the compiled rpms with "yum" command, it report huge keym errors:

It looks like it is caused just by the rpm/rpmbuild used, nothing related to the Lustre software itself. Since the same version of DKMS package works just fine on the same server.
For the Lustre packages, one option seems is NOT to generat these ksym module requirements at all(risky!). There are methods to do so:
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-requires.ksyms
# LANG=C join -t '\t' -j 1 -v 2 $symvers <(mod_requires "${modules[@]}") | LANG=C sort -u \
# | awk '{ FS = "\t" ; OFS = "\t" } { print "ksym(" $1 ") = " $2 }'
# printf "%s\n" "${filelist[@]}" | /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-requires.ksyms
Then run
make rpms
should work.
Note: this is only a temporary hack for rpm to let Lustre KMOD module can be istalled.
Method B) Add one line in the lustre.spec file(and lustre.spec.in before run ./configure command), just before %prep, after all the calls of macro "%kernel_module_package".
#add the following line to disable the ksym requires/provides scan,before %prep.
%global _use_internal_dependency_generator 1
%prep
The reason is it seems that when call the rpmbuild's macro "%kernel_module_package", it will overwrite some spec varaibles you set before.In this way, the compiled kmod rpm has no kernel/ksym requires and provides:
$ rpm -qp --requires kmod-lustre-2.12.9-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/depmod
/usr/sbin/depmod
kernel >= 3.10.0-1160
kernel < 3.10.0-1161
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1
$ rpm -qp --provides kmod-lustre-2.12.9-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
kernel-modules >= 3.10.0-1160.49.1.el7_lustre.x86_64
kmod-lustre = 2.12.9-1.el7
kmod-lustre(x86-64) = 2.12.9-1.el7
lustre-kmod = 2.12.9-1.el7
The ZFS/SPL packages can be built from source to include these kernel ksym export functions provided by the kernel modules. They have two building modes: generic and redhat, and provide correlated spec files:
rpm/generic/spl-kmod.spec
rpm/redhat/spl-kmod.spec
#and
rpm/generic/zfs.spec
rpm/redhat/zfs.spec
You need to use
./configure --with-spec=[generic|redhat]
to choose which mode you want to use. The default mode us generic.
The "redhat" mode by default will export all the provided ksym functions. The only issue for the redhat mode is it can only support the lastest Linux kernel installed. If you want to install on an older kernel(while you have a newer kernel on the same computer), the build will then fail. If that's the case, you can change one line of a file:
vi /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros
...
#change line 214 from:
%global kverrel %(%{kmodtool} verrel %{?kernel_version} 2>/dev/null)
#to
%global kverrel %(%{kmodtool} verrel 2>/dev/null)
Then it will fix the issue.
For the generic mode, you need to add one line in the spec file(before %prep):
vi rpm/generic/spl-kmod.spec
#add the following line before %prep
%global _use_internal_dependency_generator 0
This way to force rpmbuild to scan and export the provided ksym functions of the compiled kernel module.
Just download the pre-compiled rpms. Ignore the errors. Install kmod SPL/ZFS, then runing the follwing command to install Lustre:
rpm -ivh --nodeps *lustre*.rpm
