Package: src:linux Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Google would like to have its cloud networking driver, the Google Compute Engine Virtual Ethernet driver (GVE) backported into Debian 10 which is running on the kernel version 4.19. This driver has been accepted into the upstream Linux kernel since version 5.2: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/ethernet/google?h=v5.4.46). I filed this bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=964812 to get the driver configured in future Debian releases. We have used this driver with the 4.19 kernel internally so I believe it works quite well and shouldn't be significantly difficult to backport to 4.19. Please let me know how we can go about getting this backport into Debian 10. Thanks David -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-10-cloud-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
