Hi there,
My apologies if this is the wrong place to post this, but I was wondering if anyone had any information on whether or not the following patch has or will make its way into the CentOS Kernel?
- Kernel in the AltArch tree .. We have to use a different kernel for
armhfp, and we also build it for other CentOS arches .. it lives at:
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/kernel/
This kernel is based on a kernel.org LTS kernel (currently 4.14.x) and if that patch gets rolled into the LTS stream, it will be in our kernels there.
- Experimential kernel in the AltArch tree .. this is a newer LTS
kernel (which we will use in future armhfp releases .. it is currently based on 4.19.x LTS kernel.org kernel. This one will replace the 4.14 kernel in the 7.7.x release whenever that happens. If that patch makes it into 4.19.x LTS at kernel.org then it will be in this kernel too.
The patch is commit a27ba2607e60312554cbcd43fc660b2c7f29dc9c upstream (kernel.org). It was applied to kernel 4.16 and backported to 4.14 ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/4/184 ). Therefore both CentOS kernels 4.14 and 4.19 have that patch.
