Hi, Julian: Thanks for your response. Our existing products (which heavily changed the kernel code) were developed based on the 4.5 kernel that's why we need to stick with it for a short while.
Is there anything I can learn on the tricks you mentioned in your email? I am open to examine all possibilities.
