[Starlingx-discuss] Weekly StarlingX non-OpenStack distro meeting

[Saul Wold]

Please find attached the spreadsheet analyzing the Kernel patches to the 
existing CentOS 3.10 kernel.

As mentioned, most of the patches can be dropped, except for the 
Notification of Death patch.

My understanding is that changes have been made to StarlingX to support 
the Workqueue CPU affinity model with isolcpus instead of the kthread 
model that is in the 3.10 kernel.  If this is actually the case then we 
can drop the cpu affinity related patches also. (this would be a good 
thing).

Don't hesitate to reach out and ask for help with the kernel and/or 
CentOS 8 User space updates.

Sau!
