br_netfilter

[LMM]

Hi all,
I flashed the 0.10.12 linux image with container capability. But I am facing a problem : the file /proc/sys/net/bridge/brige-nf-call-iptables is missing and I cannot initialize Kubernetes (kubeadm init) : an error rises.
modprob br_netfilter returns an error because the module is not found

I will try with the stable version.

the br_netfilter module seems to be part of the 4.4 linux kernel (build-in) but not in the 5.6 kernel, and neither in the /lib/module directories. I do not know how to build it from source.

I used the below guides to enable things in the pinephone kernel and it was relatively straightforward. You might be able to do the same for your board.

Thank you for you reply. 
Actually, I found a I a generic way to compile the module :
- install the header of the 5.6 kernel compiled by Ayufan
- download the source from GitHub
-  prepare the build the module :

Code:

make oldconfig
make prepare
make script

- build the module net/bridge module :

Code:

make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build  M=$(pwd)/net/bridge modules

- the result : I only obtain the bridge.ko module though I also expected to have the br_netfilter.ko module   and the ver magic is the good one (note that I also tried with the git clone source and I obtained a vermagic with a "-dirty" extension" which will prevent the module to be loaded : error format and dmesg indicate that the vermagic is not the one expected)
- This is certainly a problem of the config of the build then I changed the Kconfig of the net repository to enable the generation of br_netfilter --> same result
- I removed the "-C /lib/modules/..." option and the br_netfilter is generated but the vermagic is 5.6.0 (missing the -1137-ayufan-ge57f05e7bf8f extension) 
- force option (--force or --force-vermagic) for installation does not work 

Some command :
modinfo : gives info on the module


I will finally abandon for the moment and use the 4.4 kernel.

@Luke @ayufan , is it possible to add this br_netfilter module for the container image for the main line kernel (it is necessary to install Kubernetes and probably docker) ?
