[Starlingx-discuss] FW: StarlingX - fails at setup

[Scott Little]

The update that broke layered build was 
https://review.opendev.org/#/c/727908

It upversioned the kernels, but failed to follow the guidance to 
upversion all external kmods.

Build avoidance is in use for layered builds, seeing no source or 
metadata changes for the kmod, it elected to reuse the previous build of 
the kmod.  The previous kmod is only valid for the previous kernel due 
to embedded paths that include the kernel version.  A kernel/kmod 
mismatch that results in unusable kmods, no network drivers, and an 
install failure on many pieces of hardware.

Build avoidance is not in use for the monolithic build.

Short term fix.  Upversion the kmods

Longer term fix.  Extend Don's recent work on GITREVCOUNTS, and allow 
kmods to automatically inherit revision counts from the kernel.
