[Lustre-discuss] vanilla kernel & patch support question
lustre-1.5.95/lustre/kernel_patches/which_patch indicates that
2.6.12-vanilla kernel is officially supported.
The patches directory has patches for 2.6.18 kernel.
Can I assume that which_patch is out of date?

SERIES MNEMONIC COMMENT
ARCH
SUPPORTED KERNELS:
rhel-2.4.21 linux-2.4.21-20.3EL RHEL3 2.4.21
all
2.6-suse linux-2.6-suse already in SLES9 SP1 kernel
all
2.6-suse-newer linux-2.6-suse SLES9 SP1 kernel add-ons
all
2.6-rhel4 linux-2.6-rhel4 RHEL4 2.6.9 kernel
all
2.6.12-vanilla linux-2.6.12.6 kernel.org 2.6.12.6
all
NB - The patches in the 2.6-suse series should already be in the SLES9
SP1
kernel. The patches in the 2.6-suse-newer series are patches that
have been created since the SP1 kernel was released and should be
applied to the already-patched SP1 kernel.
NB - The patches in the ldiskfs series should not be applied to the
kernel.
They are instead applied by the lustre build process to create the
ldiskfs kernel module instead of modifying the core ext3 code.
