Module-only aufs

[Tomas M]

Hello,
is it possible to compile current aufs as a kernel module, which
could be used with unpatched kernel?

Currently, if I want to use aufs, even if compiled as a kernel module,
I must patch kernel sources and compile kernel from scratch and then I
must be running the patched kernel in order to load the aufs module.

But instead, I would like to compile only aufs module, and use
distribution's kernel as is without patching.

Is this entirely impossible?
Is there any chance to achieve this? Maybe even in a way which would
be "wrong", but working?

Thank you

Hi Tomas,
I hope you are doing well.

I can understand that patching and rebuilding the whole kernel takes a
long time. But unfortunately it is impossible to skip patching.
I guess that some less important parts of the patches can be replaced by
the dummy functions, but you cannot skip whole patching.
