Hey all,
We've been on 4.9 for some time now, and while it's still supported, I think it's time to start thinking about upgrading, and I'd like input from the community about which version to move up to.
First let's get the current 4.9.16x PR merged and kernel update pushed out. It should fix the tty/ldisc problem causing crashes in dom0.
4.19 has been out for almost 5 months now. It will include PVH domU support, and PVH dom0 support in what _is believed_ to be the final form; so when the Virt SIG moves to a version of Xen that supports PVH dom0, the kernel will already be in place with no need to upgrade.
The other option would be to move to 4.14: Probably more stable (as it's been out for over a year now), but doesn't have either PVH domU or PVH dom0 support.
I'd suggest 4.19. Any other opinions?
+1 for 4.19 kernel as the next version.
How about blktap2 driver? In our current 4.9 kernel we have the blktap2 patch included. I think Johnny originally ported the earlier 3.18 kernel blktap2 patch to 4.9.
