Hello John & Frank,

We have tried both Centos8 and installing kernel-ml-5.8.6-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm but both options are too "bleeding" edge for our other middleware that still require the Centos 7 3.10.0-1127.18.2.el7.x86_64. Hence the request.

Thanks

I have tried backporting the module to el7 for you as requested at elrepo, but it is not trivial and so far I've not been able to get the code to compile cleanly. I'll see if I can have another look at it this weekend, but I'm not overly hopeful given the age of the el7 kernel.

As others have said, it's never going to appear in the CentOS kernel as it's not present in upstream in RHEL7.

Regards,

Phil
