hi
since we now have a GA kernel and a zero day update kernel, does someone want to have a go at creating the scripts / automation needed to deliver kpatch content ?

Sat through a basic presentation on this, and on the surface it seems reasonably easy to implement at the local level. Distro wide, it will become an exercise in deployment of patches, as not all things can be patched. There's also a reasonably insignificant (or so I'm told) performance penalty that will grow as more things are added to the kpatch list without a reboot.
something really cool is that the kpatch process itself works quite nicely with git, we could potentially deliver a tool that allows people to self-implement, rather than needing to ship kpatch payload ( otherwise, were potentially looking at a yum plugin of sorts and a rpm based wrapper )
does that sound like something we could target ?
