error when attempting to load the zfs module, Cannot allocate memory

[ipatch]

i've been running arch linux for some time now, and have had zfs working the entire time up until now. not sure what has changed to make it stop working. but whenever i attempt to load the zfs module with the below command,

sudo /sbin/modprobe zfs

i'm getting the below error message,

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'zfs': Cannot allocate memory

below is the kernel i'm using,

Linux rogue 6.3.8-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed, 14 Jun 2023 20:10:31 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and i have zfs installed via the dkms aur package via yay,

aur/zfs-dkms 2.2.0-1 (+156 2.17) (Installed)
    Kernel modules for the Zettabyte File System.
aur/zfs-linux 2.2.0_6.5.7.arch1.1-1 (+267 1.17)
    Kernel modules for the Zettabyte File System.

i cleared the journal when i attempt to load the module i see the below entry,

Oct 21 10:51:30 rogue sudo[576361]:    capin : TTY=pts/25 ; PWD=/home/capin ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/modprobe zfs
Oct 21 10:51:30 rogue sudo[576361]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root(uid=0) by capin(uid=1000)
Oct 21 10:51:30 rogue sudo[576361]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root

not sure how to troubleshoot much more other than just doing the googlefu.

What does this output?

sudo /sbin/modprobe zfs
sudo dmesg | tail -20

[ipatch]

Can you provide sudo strace modprobe zfs? You might want to use sudo strace modprobe zfs 2> /tmp/zfs-modprobe.log and upload the file.

sure,

Yours fails at finit_module(3, "", MODULE_INIT_COMPRESSED_FILE) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory).

For comparison, this is what mine looks like:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/module/zfs/initstate", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
newfstatat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/module/zfs", 0x7ffe7ddeadd0, 0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

As you can see I don't have the finit_module line. I searched the entire trace and it doesn't show up.

Have you tried rebuilding your zfs module with dkms or just reinstalling zfs-dkms?

[ipatch]

i did try reinstalling the other day. i guess i'll try removing what i currently have. and just reinstalling using yay.

[FallingSnow]

This seems like more of a kernel issue than a zfs issue. You may want to try https://unix.stackexchange.com/ and see if someone there can help you. I'm already out of my depth with strace logs.

Also might wanna try updating kernel and rebooting too.

[ipatch]

sure thanks so much for the help. 🙏
