Hello All,
I found regression in the CentOS Stream 8 kernels, and create bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1913806
After reading https://wiki.centos.org/Contribute/CentOSStream I try to download kernel sources and look for root cause of bug, but dist-git and source-git repos does not contain kernel sources, even if I try to execute %prep phase. For this reason I can't even try to find root cause of this bug by myself.
This bug is critical for me, because currently I try to use systemd-nspawn for containers virtualization in production. If future CentOS 8.4 will contain this bug - it will be disaster.
What else I can do (as user or developer) for fixing this bug?
Not a lot really, because until Red Hat / CentOS provide a proper Git repository of all kernel commits it will be impossible for you to bisect the code to identify the commit that introduced the bug, let alone offer a fix.
About all you can do is file a bug and hope for the best.
