From dff2a6e97c9fefcb6b07b4ca9611cf188477d601 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Rose Date: Tue, 19 May 2020 15:01:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: Fix kernel support matrix The documentation matrix for OVS branches and which kernels they support is out of date. Update it to show that since 2.10 the lowest kernel that we test and support is Linux 3.16. RHEL and CentOS kernels based upon the original 3.10 kernel are still supported.
