Hi Marc, The minimum kernel version mentioned in OpenSAF 5.1 README was derived based on TIPC compatible version for that kernel and the features used by Opensaf (like multicast) of TIPC and fixes available for that TIPC version.
Opensaf was evaluated with all possible options on that minimum kernel and above. Any other kernel below that minimum requirement need to be re-evaluated based on that kernel compatible TIPC version and its fixes available for that TIPC version. -AVM On 1/18/2017 10:03 PM, Colucci, Marc A wrote: > Hi All > In the OpenSAF 5.1 README file it states: > > OpenSAF requires Linux version 4.4.22 or later when configured with the > --enable-tipc option. > > We are using Linux Kernel 3.10.34 and cannot upgrade at this > time to Linux Kernel 4.4.22 to run OpenSAF 5.1. > > Can OpenSAF 5.1 run with the version of TIPC included in the > 3.10.34 Linux Kernel without any problems? > > Or should we back-port the TIPC code from Linux Kernel 4.4.22 to Linux Kernel > 3.10.34?
