== Description ==
This shows KLOC (thousands lines of code) changes in three kernels:
* OpenVZ 2.6.27-aivazovsky,Z based on vanilla 2.6.27 kernel.
* OpenVZ 2.6.18-028stab062.1, based on RHEL5 U3 kernel.
* RHEL5 U3 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5, based on vanilla 2.6.18 kernel.
* Even without drivers RHEL5 patches add/delete 434 KLOC, which is 8.5x times bigger then OpenVZ kernel modifications (51 KLOC);
* OpenVZ based on mainstream 2.6.27 kernel requires 40% less modifications (not counting modules) due to on going mainstream integration. === Source data ===<pre>RHEL5 U3 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5 files add del ----- --------- -------combined: 4962 1 190 308 210 460 ` drivers: 2179 800 889 166 009 ` other: 2783 389 419 44 451 ` xen 713 124 721 9 087 ` ext4 33 28 631 0 /* backported */ ` gfs 72 27 786 0 ` utrace 114 13 741 6 818 ` other 1851 194 540 28 546 OpenVZ 2.6.18-028stab062 combined: 980 79 054 6 644 ` mod: 66 34 621 0 ` cpt 47 21 747 0 ` other 19 12 874 0 ` core: 914 44 433 6 644 ` bc 190 11 719 669 ` fsched 53 4 195 515 ` hfixes 222 4 036 1 185 ` 4gb 72 2 308 709 ` other 377 22 175 3 566 OpenVZ 2.6.27-aivazovsky combined: 510 59 606 2 921 ` mod: 65 31 933 0 ` core: 455 27 673 2 921</pre> == See also == * [http://blog.openvz.org/27592.html blog.openvz.org: Fear no KLOC]
