On certain Ubuntu systems running the 4.4 based kernel depmod may not correctly search for module dependencies when newer openvswitch kernel modules have been installed in the extra directory at /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra. A symptom of this are the following messages in system log that can be printed with the dmesg command: [164917.582125] vport_lisp: disagrees about version of symbol ovs_netdev_link [164917.582139] vport_lisp: Unknown symbol ovs_netdev_link (err -22) [164917.582155] vport_lisp: Unknown symbol ovs_lisp_fill_metadata_dst (err 0) [164917.582165] vport_lisp: Unknown symbol rpl_rtnl_delete_link (err 0) [164917.582169] vport_lisp: disagrees about version of symbol ovs_netdev_tunnel_destroy [164917.582170] vport_lisp: Unknown symbol ovs_netdev_tunnel_destroy (err -22) [164917.582178] vport_lisp: Unknown symbol rpl_lisp_xmit (err 0) [164917.582184] vport_lisp: Unknown symbol rpl_lisp_dev_create_fb (err 0) [164917.582187] vport_lisp: disagrees about version of symbol __ovs_vport_ops_register [164917.582188] vport_lisp: Unknown symbol __ovs_vport_ops_register (err -22) [164917.582191] vport_lisp: disagrees about version of symbol ovs_vport_ops_unregister [164917.582192] vport_lisp: Unknown symbol ovs_vport_ops_unregister (err -22) [164917.582194] vport_lisp: disagrees about version of symbol ovs_vport_alloc [164917.582195] vport_lisp: Unknown symbol ovs_vport_alloc (err -22) [164917.582197] vport_lisp: disagrees about version of symbol ovs_vport_free [164917.582198] vport_lisp: Unknown symbol ovs_vport_free (err -22) [164917.606229] vport_stt: disagrees about version of symbol ovs_netdev_link [164917.606233] vport_stt: Unknown symbol ovs_netdev_link (err -22) [164917.606248] vport_stt: Unknown symbol ovs_stt_fill_metadata_dst (err 0) [164917.606260] vport_stt: Unknown symbol rpl_rtnl_delete_link (err 0) [164917.606264] vport_stt: disagrees about version of symbol ovs_netdev_tunnel_destroy [164917.606266] vport_stt: Unknown symbol ovs_netdev_tunnel_destroy (err -22) [164917.606274] vport_stt: Unknown symbol ovs_stt_dev_create_fb (err 0) [164917.606279] vport_stt: disagrees about version of symbol __ovs_vport_ops_register [164917.606281] vport_stt: Unknown symbol __ovs_vport_ops_register (err -22) [164917.606285] vport_stt: disagrees about version of symbol ovs_vport_ops_unregister [164917.606286] vport_stt: Unknown symbol ovs_vport_ops_unregister (err -22) [164917.606291] vport_stt: disagrees about version of symbol ovs_vport_alloc [164917.606292] vport_stt: Unknown symbol ovs_vport_alloc (err -22) [164917.606295] vport_stt: disagrees about version of symbol ovs_vport_free [164917.606297] vport_stt: Unknown symbol ovs_vport_free (err -22) [164917.606305] vport_stt: Unknown symbol ovs_stt_xmit (err 0) When this occurs the 'make check-kmod' command will experience many failures and openvswitch will not operate correctly. Adding 'search extra' to the beginning of the /etc/depmod.d/openvswitch.conf module dependency configuration file fixes the problem. So to be safe just add it.
