Hi David,
We try to keep our out of tree kernel modules compiling against recent
kernels and
will eventually add support for 5.4. Right now our support is up to
5.0. However,
you can just build the user space code and not bother with building the
out of
tree kernel modules and then just use the built-in openvswitch kernel
module for 5.4.
Is there some specific need for the out of tree kernel modules to
compile on 5.4
right now?
Thanks,
- Greg
