Title: tmpfs-root.patch for kernel 3.14.x
Post by: helasz on August 11, 2014, 04:30:00 AM

Hi All,

I am trying to upgrade the kernel to the actually latest LTS version (ie. 3.14.16). Could someone help me adapting the official tmpfs-root.patch (for v3.8.x) to the 3.14.x kernels? There is one part (regarding the file inode.c) which keeps giving error message. I did not manage to change that part in the patch so that it may be applied.

I guess this patch is not as optional as some of the others (for example the one for the logo).

Thanks in advance!

The tmpfs root patch is no longer required after 3.13 or later, Landley's equivalent functionality was merged.

Just to confirm, Raspberry Pi piCore works fine with unpatched 3.14.x/3.15.x kernels.
