From: [Syrus] <[[email protected]]>=0D Hi Arnd, all,=0D =0D Thanks for the discussion. While kernel upgrade solves Y2038 for new=0D projects, our legacy devices on 3.10.14 kernel face upgrade challenges=0D due to driver compatibility and limited resources (limited manpower, =0D communication barriers between different departments and companies, etc.).= =0D =0D Has anyone successfully backported Y2038 fixes to older kernels like=0D 3.10.x? I'm looking for patch summaries or experiences with such=0D backports, or at least a summary of the commit history that addresses=0D this issue. Any guidance on key subsystems to focus on would be very=0D helpful for maintaining our legacy devices.=0D =0D Best regards,=0D [Syrus]=
