Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

A new kpatch-patch-4_18_0-147-0-0 package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

Description

The kpatch management tool provides a kernel patching infrastructure which allows you to patch a running kernel without rebooting or restarting any processes.

This enhancement update adds the kpatch-patch-4_18_0-147-0-0 package to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. This is an empty kpatch-patch package, which does not contain any real patches. It is only a method to subscribe to the kpatch stream for kernel-4.18.0-147.el8. Future updates to this package will contain kernel live patches.
