AI Is Now Being Used To Help Determine Patches For Backporting In The Linux Kernel
Generative AI 'GenAI' is now being used in part to help determine the Linux kernel patches that should be back-ported to prior current stable Linux kernel releases such as the all-important Linux Long Term Support (LTS) branches.
Typically kernel developers will "CC: stable" for patches that are explicitly marked for back-porting from the Linux upstream Git to prior releases. For patches not explicitly being marked, AI is now helping out given the demanding challenges of the upstream Linux LTS maintenance. It will be interesting to see moving ahead what more AI usage is found for assisting the upstream Linux kernel development.
