== Summary ==
Review of the current Ubuntu Kernel patch delta from upstream. This session will look at the current delta comprised of both patches to the core and the ubuntu specific drivers. The aim is to record what we are carrying, review the reasons for that component(s) to be carried, and recommend replacements, updates, cleanups, upstreaming etc of those components.

== Release Note ==

TBD

== Rationale ==
All patches and drivers carried in the Ubuntu delta are not automatically sync'd with the upstream kernel for various reasons.  This places a maintenance burden on the Ubuntu kernel team.  These patches and drivers must be regularly reviewed to determine if they are still needed, if they need updating to a later version, or if they are now ready for upstream acceptance.  The purpose of this blueprint is to facilitate and record this review for the Oneiric cycle.

This review is based on the the initial Natty sync to Oneiric, at the Ubuntu2.6.38-7.39- release.  The delta at that point was broken down as below:

||# patches || comment ||
|| 534      || patches on top of the v2.6.38 kernel ||
|| 14       || patches which are now upstream (stable et al) - we hadn't rebased Natty to stable yet when we opened Oneiric ||
|| 106      || SAUCE patches ||
|| 294      || debian commits (configuration updates and build machinary) ||
|| 58       || ubuntu/ driver patches ||
|| 62       || patches added then reverted (eg. 31 applied, then reverted) ||

}}}
  * '''Updated Info:'''
   * Module is needed to activate RAID4 and RAID5 configurations with dmraid (package). This reads the meta-data created by BIOS supported soft-RAID implementations and creates device-mapper targets.
   * Upstream indicated that the dm-raid45 module is seen as deprecated and dm-raid (a RAID 4/5/6 target) would be the replacement. However currently available versions of the user-space application do not support this. The difference between both targets is substantial from the point of table formats. This means to create a mapping with the new target the user-space side has to change substantially.
   * So currently we will need to go with the old module.

== Results ==

=== Compcache ===

We have been carrying compcache for some time.  We now have an official merge of the zram driver which is and updated version of ramzswap which is actually what we have been carrying and using.  Investigations showed that our version of ramzswap was no longer functioning currectly failing to load at boot times, it also showed that userspace was actually unable to load the driver (separatly) due to changes in udev.  As userspace needed fixing we decided to migrate to zram.  This allowed us to drop this driver from the Ubuntu delta.
