Linux 内核支持周期即将发生一项重大变革！
|
||||
======

> 从文字描述上看，它对用户产生的影响将如何呢？你有何看法呢？
|
||||
|
||||
<ruby>[欧洲开源峰会][1]<rt>Open Source Summit Europe</rt></ruby> 刚刚开幕，我们开始看到围绕 Linux 和开源软件的一些有趣动态。
|
||||
|
||||
其中一项新闻是关于未来将如何处理 Linux 内核的 [长期支持][2]（LTS）版本。
|
||||
|
||||
我们来看一下即将进行的更迭。
|
||||
|
||||
**新变化：** 在峰会上，Linux 开发者和 [LWN][3] 执行编辑 Jonathan Corbett 宣布，**Linux 内核的 LTS 周期即将从原先的六年缩短至两年**！
|
||||
|
||||
目前，有 **六个 LTS 版本的 Linux 内核**，即 4.14、4.19、5.4、5.10、5.15 和 6.1。
|
||||
|
||||
在将来，继 4.14 之后，当 LTS 状态的下两个版本被淘汰时，**它们将不会被其他内核版本所取代**。
|
||||
|
||||
> 📋 你可以查阅 [Linux 内核归档][4] 来了解目前 LTS 版本 Linux 内核预计的终止支持日期。
|
||||
|
||||

|

|
||||
5.4 | Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin | 2019-11-24 | 2025 年 12 月
|
||||
4.19 | Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin | 2018-10-22 | 2024 年 12 月
|
||||
4.14 | Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin | 2017-11-12 | 2024 年 1 月
|
||||
|
||||
**时机选择：**Jonathan 提到的理由之一是，**并不是很多人使用旧版本的 Linux 内核**，因此这些版本没必要继续进行维护。
|
||||
|
||||
我对此表示同意。然而，肯定有些人对此举动感到不满。
|
||||
|
||||
但是，这个决策的推进主要是由于 **Linux 代码维护人员过度劳累的大问题**。
|
||||
|
||||
你看，对于一个 LTS 版本的代码进行检查和改善是一项重任务，需要消耗大量的时间和精力，而问题就出在这里。
|
||||
|
||||
据 Jonathan 所说，维护人员面临的 **两个大挑战** 分别是：大部分 **维护人员并未得到酬劳以维护 Linux 内核**，以及采用 “[Fuzzing][5]” 技术寻找问题，虽然有所帮助，但有时也可能揭示出许多小问题，需要维护人员花费更多的精力。
|
||||
|
||||
看到这样的情况，维护人员容易感到疲劳，对吧？🙁
|
||||
|
||||
当被问及 **维护人员如何得到帮助？** 时，Jonathan 建议他们与雇主进行沟通，把 Linux 内核维护工作转为付费工作。
|
||||
|
||||
他还补充说，
|
||||
|
||||
> 如果公司希望继续从 Linux 中获益，就需要意识到他们必须向 Linux 回馈。
|
||||
|
||||
总的来说，此次变革将减轻维护人员的负担，但依赖于旧版本 Linux 内核的系统可能会承受不获得关键更新的风险。
|
||||
|
||||
这可能会对大部分用户产生影响，或可能不会，但对某些组织来说，可能会带来些许不便。

A big change is coming to the Linux Kernel Support….
|
||||
======
|
||||
While this is a significant change on paper, how can it affect the
|
||||
users? Thoughts?
|
||||
The [Open Source Summit Europe][1] edition has kicked off, and we are starting to see some interesting news surrounding Linux and open-source software in general.
|
||||
|
||||
One such news is regarding how [Long-term Support][2] (LTS) Linux kernel versions will be handled going forward.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's take a look at the upcoming changes.
|
||||
|
||||
**What's happening:** At the summit, Jonathan Corbett, Linux developer and executive editor at [LWN][3] disclosed that **the LTS period for the Linux kernel is being brought down to two years, from the previous six years period**.
|
||||
|
||||
Seeing that currently there are **six LTS Linux Kernels** , 4.14, 4.19, 5.4, 5.10, 5.15, and 6.1.
|
||||
|
||||
In the future, after 4.14, when the next two in line exit LTS status, **they will not be replaced with other kernel versions**.
|
||||
|
||||
📋
|
||||
|
||||
You can refer to [The Linux Kernel Archives][4] for knowing the projected end-of-life of the current LTS Linux kernels.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Now:** One of the reasons Jonathan mentions is the fact that **not many people use older versions of the Linux kernel** , so there's not much point in maintaining those.
|
||||
|
||||
And, I do agree with that. However, there will be some out there who won't be happy with this move.
|
||||
|
||||
But, there's **a bigger problem at hand** that has pushed this decision forward, and that is the **matter of Linux code maintainers being burnt out**.
|
||||
|
||||
You see, checking/improving the code for an LTS release is a major task that can take up a lot of time and effort to get it done right, and this is where the problem lies.
|
||||
|
||||
According to Jonathan, there are **two distinct obstacles that maintainers face** , one is that **many** **maintainers are not paid to maintain the Linux kernel**.
|
||||
|
||||
The second one is the **use of the '[Fuzzing][5]' technique to find bugs**, which is helpful, but at times can also uncover numerous minor bugs that will require the maintainers' attention.
|
||||
|
||||
You see how this can easily burn out a maintainer? 🙁
|
||||
|
||||
When asked; **How can maintainers get help?** , Jonathan suggested that they speak with their employers for getting them paid for their Linux kernel maintainer work.
|
||||
|
||||
He also added that:
|
||||
|
||||
> Companies must realize they need to give back to Linux if they want to continue to reap its benefits.
|
||||
|
||||
So, wrapping up.
|
||||
|
||||
This move will lessen the burden on the maintainers, however systems that rely on older Linux kernels may have to bear the brunt of not getting essential patches.
|
||||
|
||||
While it may or may not affect a big chunk of users, it could be inconvenient for some organizations.
