Introduction
The WSL2-Linux-Kernel repo contains the kernel source code and configuration files for the WSL2 kernel.
Reporting Bugs
If you discover an issue relating to WSL or the WSL2 kernel, please report it on the WSL GitHub project. It is not possible to report issues on the WSL2-Linux-Kernel project.
If you're able to determine that the bug is present in the upstream Linux kernel, you may want to work directly with the upstream developers. Please note that there are separate processes for reporting a normal bug and a security bug.
Feature Requests
Is there a missing feature that you'd like to see? Please request it on the WSL GitHub project.
If you're able and interested in contributing kernel code for your feature request, we encourage you to submit the change upstream.
