I have install the OpenWRT stable release 19.07.03 (target x86_64) and I would like to patch the kernel with the MPTCP. However I found that the kernel version on this release is 4.14.180 and as a result I am not able to patch the latest mptcp release 0.95 since it is base on the Longterm kernel release 4.19.
On the other hand, when I use an OpenWrt snapshot image I get the latest kernel version 5.4.45 in which I am not sure if I patch the PMTCP will work. Most probably it will fail or malfunctioning.
So, I wonder which is the best solution here because I am very confused.
Upgrade the kernel on the existing release 19.07.03 from 4.14.180 to 4.19 and then patch the MPTCP? Is that possible? Where I can find the kernel version 4.19 for Openwrt and complete instructions?
Yeah, I see how its current architecture might be to much. I meant to steer you to how the developer patched the kernel, I am sure if you browse the sources there is a possibility it will help you patch it too.
Update: disregard my comment, I can see it is not even on kernel 4.14 yet.
