An Upstream Friendly Source Control Model And Tooling

Recorded January 20, 2022

We maintain a kernel that contains a significant amount of patches on top of upstream Linux, while also closely following upstream Linux.

The end result is that we have processes that are slowly driving down our internal only patches. Download Slides
