[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#934282: zfs-dkms: fails to install for 5.2.0-2-amd64 due to GPL-only symbol 'alternatives_patched'

[Craig Sanders]

I tested this on one of my ZFS testing VMs ('ztest') and can confirm that
zfs-dkms 0.8.1 compiles against 5.2.0-2-amd64 when the patch is applied to
/var/lib/dkms/zfs/0.8.1/source/include/linux/simd_x86.h

ztest:~# dkms status
zfs, 0.8.1, 4.19.0-3-amd64, x86_64: installed
zfs, 0.8.1, 4.19.0-5-amd64, x86_64: installed
zfs, 0.8.1, 5.2.0-2-amd64, x86_64: installed


The VM reboots successfuly and the zfs pool is working normally:

ztest:~# uname -a
Linux ztest 5.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.2.7-1 (2019-08-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux
