RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

The driver that we wish to be embedded
Description of problem:
Currently, HighPoint Technologies has an embedded driver, HPTIOP.
However, it is outdated therefore our controller cards are not able to use this driver
Causing our CentOS customers some issues.
but we have embedded drivers in the later kernel version but CentOS is still using older kernel versions
I have created an Issue at CentOS but they have told me to post it here instead.
Is it possible to have our drivers embedded in the CentOS because other Linux distribution all use the later kernel version so we don't have any issues with other Distributions?
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
CentOS 7
How reproducible:
Everytime
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check lsmod to find the driver
Actual results:
The Driver is an outdated driver that is not compatible
Expected results:
Driver is outdated
Additional info:
Is it possible to get the drivers embedded into CentOS?
This has nothing to do with cargo-vendor, which is a tool for Rust packaging.
I'm reassigning this to the kernel component, but you should also note that this bug tracker is for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, only indirectly affecting CentOS.

Hi Hyu,
to understand it better - is there also another HighPoint Technologies driver
besides that "embedded driver, HPTIOP" ? For example the "RocketRAID 3700 RAID Series" is supoerted by hptiop
or by another driver ?
The hptiop driver is deprecated in RHEL7 - that means that it may be removed in next major release (and it was removed in RHEL8).
