Operator asked whether waiting is viable or whether a backports kernel is permanent. Answer: it will NOT arrive on its own, but it CAN be made to, and the ask is unusually strong. VERIFIED: - NOT in linux-6.12.y. Newest commit touching memattr.c on that branch is 2024-07-12. In mainline since v6.13 (2025-01-19) — ~19 months, ~97 point releases. - NO stable tag and NO Fixes: tag on either commit. Structural, not an oversight: the unvalidated arithmetic dates to the file's creation in 2016, so it is not a regression and there is no bad commit to point Fixes: at. BOTH automatic feeds — Fixes:-scanning and AUTOSEL — had nothing to grab. AUTOSEL never surfaced it for any branch. - NOBODY has requested it: nothing on [email protected], nothing in all 8,027 open+archived Debian bugs against src:linux. - 6.12 LTS EOL is December 2028 — outlives Debian 13's support window, so not time-barred. - Debian REBASES: trixie carries 6.12.94-1 in trixie-security ('New upstream stable update'), so an upstream pickup would reach us via a normal apt upgrade. THE DECISIVE CARD: the cherry-pick is BYTE-CLEAN. Debian trixie 6.12.94-1's memattr.c hashes to 164203429fa7a..., identical to the upstream patch's pre-image blob — the file has not diverged between v6.12 and the commit's parent. cherry-pick applies with zero conflicts and zero adjustment, which removes the usual reason such requests get declined. The commit also meets every stable-kernel-rules criterion: mainline, 17 insertions, 'hardware quirk', 'a real bug that bothers people'. PLAN: backports now as explicitly provisional; email [email protected] (rules Option 2) CC linux-efi and Ard Biesheuvel who authored AND committed it as EFI maintainer, leading with the clean-apply proof and the three-boot reproduction with byte-identical e820; Debian BTS as secondary under handbook §9.1.7; make the deviation permanent only if there is no movement in 4-6 weeks. Only 8fbe4c49c0cc is needed by hand — 5d0faa8e8369 loosens a heuristic that was rejecting LEGITIMATE tables and is not required for this symptom. Serves: R-ENV-01, R-ENV-03. Task: T-7.1.
home-network-k3s-impl
Implementation of the home k3s + Longhorn platform. This repo holds the reconciled artifacts
(Flux config, Kustomize overlays, KubeVirt/Helm manifests, ServiceDefinitions, Kyverno policies,
Chainsaw conformance tests, CI). It is driven by — and subordinate to — the read-only
specification at ../home-network-k3s.
Rules (from the spec — non-negotiable)
- The spec is read-only. Never modify anything under
../home-network-k3s. Implement against it; escalate spec problems, don't edit them (specAGENTS.md§11, R-TEST-06). - Done = a green, reproducible, requirement-tagged conformance test — never "merged," never a
manual demo (spec
docs/14,agents/definition-of-done.md). - No work on
main. Every change is a feature branch merged intomain(specCONTRIBUTING.md). - No plaintext secrets — SOPS-encrypted only (spec
docs/07). - Phase discipline — only build what the active roadmap phase authorizes (spec
roadmap/phases.md).
Layout
infra/ node provisioning: OpenTofu (Proxmox VE) + cloud-init + Ansible, and the
pinned dev container that carries the whole toolchain
bootstrap/ one-time cluster bootstrap: Flux install, SOPS/age key, host Gitea
platform/ platform CONTROLLERS (Flux HelmReleases / operator bases): kyverno, cilium,
longhorn, external-snapshotter, cert-manager, externaldns, gateway, coredns,
vpn-egress, monitoring, cnpg, keycloak, oauth2-proxy, kubevirt
platform-config/ platform CONFIGS — the custom resources of the CRDs installed above
(ClusterIssuers, Gateway, Kyverno policies, KubeVirt/CDI CRs, Keycloak CRs).
Split out because CRs and the CRDs they use cannot apply in one pass.
apps/ application tier, reconciled as dependency-ordered WAVES:
wave-0/ wave-1/ wave-2/ rendered container apps (see DESIGN-waves.md)
vms/ KubeVirt VirtualMachines (non-gating tier)
catalog/ ServiceDefinition entries (the onboarding surface) + render.py
schemas/ ServiceDefinition JSON Schema + renderer contract
clusters/ Flux entrypoints + dev/ and prod/ overlays
conformance/ Chainsaw behavior/conformance suite + harness + coverage report
ci/ the gate as scripts (lint · schema · Kyverno L0 · L1 render · decision)
.gitea/ Gitea Actions CI running that gate on an in-cluster runner
Status
Roadmap phases 0–6 are delivered and deployed on the dev cluster; Phase 7 (prod) is not
open — clusters/prod is a design-only overlay.
| Phase | Delivered |
|---|---|
| 0 Foundations | ServiceDefinition schema + renderer, Kyverno L0 gate, conformance harness, CI |
| 1 Cluster bring-up | 3-node k3s HA on Proxmox VE (192.168.1.50/.51/.52), Cilium, Flux, SOPS |
| 2 Platform core | Cilium · Longhorn · cert-manager (LE-prod wildcard) · ExternalDNS · Gateway API · split-horizon CoreDNS |
| 3 Egress / VPN | ADR-0015 node-level OpenVPN split-tunnel + Cilium egress-gateway steering + host kill-switch |
| 4 Observability | kube-prometheus-stack · Loki · Alloy · Alertmanager. Velero still blocked on OQ-BKP; image-automation authored but disabled |
| 5 IaaS | KubeVirt + CDI on real nested KVM; live-migratable RWX VM storage. The UniFi VM runs, but UniFi OS Server is not yet installed in the guest |
| 6 Identity + CI | Keycloak (Operator + CNPG) · oauth2-proxy forward-auth · Grafana OIDC · kubectl OIDC SSO with group→RBAC · in-cluster Gitea Actions merge gate |
Conformance: 36 / 51 requirements covered (70.6%), 15 gaps, 1 safety-critical gap
(R-STATE-02, Longhorn node-loss). Regenerate with ./conformance/run.sh --coverage-only;
the full report is conformance/_artifacts/coverage/coverage.md.

Working on this repo
Everything the gate needs is baked into the pinned dev container — do not install the toolchain on the host:
infra/devcontainer/dev.sh build # once
infra/devcontainer/dev.sh run make -C ci gate # the same gate CI runs
infra/devcontainer/dev.sh # interactive shell (sops, flux, kubectl, tofu, ansible)
The container mounts the repo at /work, your age keyring, and the sibling spec repo read-only
so the spec-immutability check can actually run. See
infra/devcontainer/README.md.
A green run prints MERGE GATE: PASS. The L2/L3 conformance layers stay SKIPPED unless
CLUSTER_AVAILABLE=true — the static gate never pretends to have run them.
