Subject: How are userspace & kernelspace kept in sync?
Date: Fri, 05 Apr 2013 17:48:56 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <515F54D8.4050903@redhat.com> (raw)
One thing led to another in poking around the code, and I realized
that while userspace has lots of code copied from the kernel, it
was last copied in 2008, in many cases. ;)
What's the plan here, how are userspace & kernelspace to be kept
in sync?
New features fairly obviously hit both, but what about bugfixes
that hit one codebase or the other?
Is it clear (to anyone) which code needs to be synced?
Should it be done as a wholesale sync-up/rebase from time to
time, or should commits be merged from one to the other?
Just wondering,
Thanks,
-Eric
