oh - didn't know about the backport - considering the change in question is really just a few lines and more or less cosmetic it's a political move. This basically makes native ZFS encryption very slow on recent Linux kernels. Sad move.
- pinewurst 7y agoIt’s been pulled also from 4.19.38 (and beyond) as well as 4.14.120 (and beyond).
- nisa 7y agoLost a lot of respect for the Linux devs due to this story - this is just stupid fuckery due to hurt egos or whatever. Droping that API in 5.0+ fine - but backporting the removal of the non-GPL API in -stable kernels?
- blibble 7y agoabsolutely, at the point they backported an API breaking change to the LTS branch was the point they lost the benefit of the doubt
