 1 | kernel-patches
 2 | ==============
 3 | 
 4 | Custom Linux kernel patches for vanilla upstream Linux, organized by major
 5 | version similar to Greg KH's -stable queue.
 6 | 
 7 | These patches were born out of an initial need to apply "just a few fixes"
 8 | to [btrfs](https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/), and eventually grew to include both
 9 | additional features and performance/scalability improvements to the entire kernel.
10 | 
11 | To apply over a release:
12 | 
13 | - check out the branch for the kernel you want (see `git branch -l`)
14 | - run the `kernel-patches/apply.sh` script when in the kernel directory
15 |   (do *not* use `git am`, it will very likely mess up the output!)
16 | - build as usual
17 | 
18 | All patches of a series must be applied, as some have interdependencies
19 | (e.g. between the btrfs/vfs/block layers).
20 | 
21 | A patch series should apply cleanly to the *latest* version of the respective -stable
22 | release on [kernel.org](https://www.kernel.org/); if it does not then **please** file
23 | a bug here on Github. Older release series will only see sporadic updates, if any.
24 | 
25 | Enjoy!
26 | 
27 | **Current status (2025-12-18)**
28 | 
29 | - 6.18.x is my current production branch.
30 | 
31 | - all other branches < 6.18 are EOL for me.
