<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">you are right that in this phase of the SLE development cycle we are strict about which changes enter the kernel codebase. So, such a patch might have to wait either post-release or for the next
service pack.<br>
<br>
In this particular case, however, the situation is different. The fix was originally developed in SUSE and simultaneously
<a href="https://github.com/openSUSE/kernel-source/commit/6c87519eef5f11f3baed0b613644967392a92e10" title="https://github.com/openSUSE/kernel-source/commit/6c87519eef5f11f3baed0b613644967392a92e10">
ported to SLE</a> and posted upstream. As a result, SLE 15 SP4 received the change earlier than the mainline kernel and the optimization has been part of the beta releases.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
