<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi all,<br>
<br>
As Lustre 2.10 is supported on Ubuntu 16.04 and SLES12 with both based on the 4.4 kernel.<br>
I tried to compile the 2.10.6 client using DKMS on the latest Kernel.org 4.4 LTS (4.4-174).<br>
<br>
But it is failing with what looks like differences in the API (full output attached).<br>

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Is there a way to get that to work ?<br>
<br>
Full disclosure: I need to upgrade the kernel of some Centos6 boxes due to a bug (not Lustre related), but can't upgrade the OS for *reasons*.<br>
