SUSE Labs Director Talks Live Kernel Patching with kGraft (Linux.com)

[Posted March 4, 2014 by ris]

Libby Clark talks with Vojtech Pavlik, Director of SUSE Labs, about kGraft. "In this Q&A, Pavlik goes into more detail on SUSE's live kernel patching project; how the kGraft patch integrates with the Linux kernel; how it compares with other live-patching solutions; how developers will be able to use the upcoming release; and the project's interaction with the kernel community for upstream acceptance."

From the description of both kPatch and kGraft it seems that both systems are very similar - at least conceptually. It might be a goo idea to merge them into one unique solution instead of having two roughly similar contenders.

BTW I would love to see the code for kGraft so if anybody has a link to share, I'll gladly accept it (with many thanks :))

From what I've seen, both the kGraft and kPatch developers will be at the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit.

So they can compare ideas and hopefully work together or combine their ideas and get some code upstream.
