Re: [LEDE-DEV] kernel version status
Dear John Crispin and Felix Fietkau, Could either of you please consider moving the Ramips target to kernel 4.14 before the fork to 18.04 happens? Without it, the new flow_offload goodies won't be usable on Ramips, which would be a shame in my opinion. Or are there good reasons to keep the target on kernel 4.9 for now?

Dear Hauke, Quick question from my side: I was wondering why Ramips will probably stay with 4.9, even though the patches for 4.14 have been in master for quite a while. Since flow_offload is part of master, and it requires 4.14, I think 4.14 would be a very welcome addition for Ramips. My 2 cents :) Yours sincerely, Jaap Buurman ___ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev

Re: [LEDE-DEV] kernel version status
The next OpenWrt release will use kernel 4.9 and kernel 4.14 depending on the target. All targets that are *not* on either kernel 4.9 or 4.14 will not be included in the next release. I did some overview of the kernel version some months ago here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/lede-dev/2017-October/009446.html http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/lede-dev/2018-February/011308.html Here is the current situation as of today: The following targets are on kernel 4.14 and are fine: * apm821xx * archs38 * armvirt * bcm53xx * cns3xxx * imx6 * ipq40xx * kirkwood * malta * mediatek * mvebu * mxs * octeon * octeontx * pistachio * sunxi * x86 The following targets are on kernel 4.9 and are fine: * ar71xx * ar7 * arc770 * at91 There are some patches for kernel 4.14 on the mailing list, but it looks like nobody with the hardware wants to take care of them. * ath25 * brcm2708 * brcm47xx There is a pull request with kernel 4.14 patches on github, we will probably stay with kernel 4.9 for the next release. * brcm63xx patches for 4.14 are available in master * ipq806x * ixp4xx * lantiq patches for 4.14 are available in master, we will probably stay with kernel 4.9 for the next release. * layerscape * mpc85xx * omap There is a pull request with kernel 4.14 patches on github. * orion * ramips patches for 4.14 are available in master, we will probably stay with kernel 4.9 for the next release. * rb532 * uml The following targets are on kernel 4.4 and will probably not be included in the next release: * gemini There are patches for kernel 4.14 on the mailing list, we will probably get them in before the release and ship this with 4.14 * oxnas * zynq The following targets are on kernel 3.18 and will probably not be included in the next release: * adm5120 * adm8668 * au1000 * mcs814x * ppc40x * ppc44x * xburst This target is on kernel 4.1 (WTF): * omap24xx All the targets which are not on kernel 4.9 or 4.14 will probably not be included in the next release, I also haven't seen any activity for any of them expected the gemini target to get support for more recent kernel versions, if you need them please take care now. I am fine with the current status and do not see this as a blocker for the next release, all important targets are on either 4.9 or 4.14, if someone wants to see his target on a more recent version we are still open for patches.

Hi John, > currently units will have ~300k on flash for mac files So, by 'for mac files' you mean the /arch/.../mach-*.c ? Then there'd additionally be some kBytes for etc/board.d/* and all the other case statements in the shell scripts at other locations. (-> per-device-root-filesystem; what's the current status here?)

Out of curiosity, what is the reason not to bump ar71xx to v4.14? Looking at the projected EOL of kernels, the move from v4.4 (Feb, 2022) to v4.9 (Jan, 2019) drastically reduced the time remaining for this platform. we have long planned to move ar71xx over to OF and decided that this might be the right time to do so. currently units will have ~300k on flash for mac files and ~1,5M in ram for them. the target is pretty messy at places, so moving it to OF will only give us advantages.
