Custom Linux kernel patches for vanilla upstream Linux, organized by major version similar to Greg KH's -stable queue.
These patches were born out of an initial need to apply "just a few fixes" to btrfs, and eventually grew to include both additional features and performance/scalability improvements to the entire kernel.
To apply over a release:
git branch -l)kernel-patches/apply.sh script when in the kernel directory
(do not use git am, it will very likely mess up the output!)All patches of a series must be applied, as some have interdependencies (e.g. between the btrfs/vfs/block layers).
A patch series should apply cleanly to the latest version of the respective -stable release on kernel.org; if it does not then please file a bug here on Github. Older release series will only see sporadic updates, if any.
Enjoy!
Current status (2024-09-16)

6.10.x is my current production branch.
all other branches < 6.10 are EOL for me.
