| Mehul1 | I have a question regarding 16.04 Ubuntu Kernel ABI compatibility. I recently ran into an issue while using "get_user_pages_locked" API. I have an out-of-tree kernel module integrated with DKMS which uses this API and was working fine on 16.04.0/1, however when i switched to 16.04.2 (desktop ISO, kernel version 4.8), I found that API signatures wer | 09:28 |
|---|---|---|
| Mehul1 | e changed and I had to fix the code in prod environment | 09:28 |
| Mehul1 | My question is If I stick to 16.04.0/1 GA kernel version and never explicitly opt for HWE kernel, would Ubuntu ensure that all patch releases on GA kernel don't break existing kernel surface? | 09:29 |
| Mehul1 | I understand that new APIs might be added, but I am more concerned about existing APIs being used by my module. | 09:29 |
