The announcement of 3.14's End of Life as a stable kernel series was announced in September 2016. As far as I know, the fact that 3.14 is no longer listed on kernel.org means that no one is maintaining 3.14 after Greg K-H declared it to be EOL'ed. On a side note, I just recently finished an effort to update the ext4 patches for 3.14, 4.1, 4.4, and 4.9. I've sent those backports and cherry pick requests to stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. For details of my work, at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git There are testing notes in the signed git tags: ext4-4.9.54-1 - https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git/tag/?h=ext4-4.9.54-1 ext4-4.4.91-1 - https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git/tag/?h=ext4-4.4.91-1 ext4-4.1.44-1 - https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git/tag/?h=ext4-4.1.44-1 ext4-3.18.74-1 - https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git/tag/?h=ext4-3.18.74-1 .... and on a "when Ted has time / interest basis", the ext4-3.18, ext4-4.1, ext4-4.4, and ext-4.9 branches in the above repo will be updated with a rebase against the latest LTS kernel and whatever patches are needed to minimize xfstests failures that haven't yet gotten accepted into the LTS kernel versions. Getting changes into android-common and/or various SOC's BSP kernels is left as an exercise to the reader. I suspect that at some point soon, when 4.14 becomes released and becomes a LTS kernel, I'm going to drop ext4-4.1 and replace it with ext4-4.14, since very few people seem to be using the 4.1 LTS kernel, and my time / effort is limited. If someone is interested in helping out, please contact me. - Ted
