Subject: Question: Is there a plan when to require a higher Linux kernel version than 3.2?
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2022 11:11:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b632a3ac-13ee-3cc1-7f88-90a663754d31@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
Hi,
the minimum required Linux kernel version is currently 3.2 which was set
with commit 5b4ecd3f95695ef593e4474b4ab5a117291ba5fc
"Require Linux 3.2 except on x86 / x86_64, 3.2 headers everywhere." back
in 2016.
Is there a plan when to require a higher Linux kernel version and which
version will then be used as minimum?
Some background on my question:
On s390x, unfortunately the direct socket syscalls are not used due to
the __ASSUME_* macro undefines in
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/kernel-features.h if Linux kernel version
<4.3 is used.
Bye,
Stefan
