Updated Drivers
In close cooperation with hardware and storage vendors, Oracle has updated several device drivers from the versions in mainline Linux 5.15.0.
Many driver modules no longer track version information. Oracle works with vendors to align device drivers included in UEK R7U3 with the code available in upstream kernel versions.
Notable driver updates are presented in the following table:
