What it takes to keep an enterprise 'Frankenkernel' alive (Register)

The Register reportsfrom Jii Benc's DevConf.cz talk on the making of the CentOS Streamkernel.

So, what the team are working on is a Frankenstein's monster, sewntogether from different codebases. Although the base kernel isstill version 5.14, it is full of backports from upstream. It hasthe XFS filesystem code from kernel 6.0, the USB subsystem -complete with drivers - and BPF subsystem from kernel 6.2, thewireless stack and all drivers from kernel 6.3, and the multipathTCP/IP code from kernel 6.4 - which at the time of the talk hadn'teven been released upstream yet.
