Subject: Linux kernel version for DPDK 24.11
Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2024 22:53:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <98CBD80474FA8B44BF855DF32C47DC35E9F626@smartserver.smartshare.dk> (raw)

Stephen,

Kernel 4.19 will reach EOL in December 2024 [1], so we should skip ahead to 5.4 (projected EOL December 2025) or 5.10 (projected EOL December 2026).

For reference, the CIP project provides a SLTS (Super Long-Time Stable) kernel based on version 5.10 [2]. Their previous SLTS was based on kernel version 4.19.

Based on the above information, it could make sense updating the DPDK minimum requirements for DPDK 24.11 to kernel version 5.10.

You usually have a good overview of what is going on in the relevant distros. Could you please provide a doc patch like you have done before [3].
