+Kernel Stablization + +

+The following policy is in place for kernel stabilization that can be pe= rformed by members of the kernel team without opening a stabilization bug= . For this to occur, the following procedures must be followed: +

+
+
For new kernel major point releases (e.g. 2.6.X)
+
+
    +
  • A stable request bug is opened and arch teams stabilize as per= existing policy. No auto stabilizing occurs here as only the arch teams = can really determine if the kernel is working on their own arch.
    • +
+
+
For subsequent security related releases of a kernel point rele= ase 2.6.X.Y
+
+
    +
  • If the kernel team determines a significant security fix is in= cluded for a kernel release of 2.6.X.y where 2.6.X or 2.6.X.(Y-1) has alr= eady been stabilized per the first bullet, the kernel team can auto stabi= lize that specific version
    • +
  • Dependant upon the severity of the security bug, (root exploit= , minor module) the kernel team will remove stable keywords from earlier = versions of the same 2.6.X series within a reasonable timeframe.
