Hello, the difference between the two URLs you asked about is that one is the master tree for the Amazon Linux kernel, while the other is a branch for the ENA driver. ENA stands for Elastic Network Adapter. You can read more about the ENA at the link referenced below[1].

Got it. Thanks. Also, I am interested in the method how amazon linux 2 propagate patches from linux mainline. So I have more questions: 1) after observing the git commit history in the git repo of amazon linux 2, I realize that amazon linux 2 usually rebase to the latest linux LTS branches(the rebase usually happens six days after a minior version(such as, 5.10.133) is released); 2) but after rebasing, there are usually about 200 commits added on the top of the base, what is the source of these commits? I guess that there are two sources: 1) amazon's own commits which adapts to the cloud environment 2) pick some necessary patches from linux mainline. is my understanding correct? if yes, what drives amazon linux 2 propagate patches from linux mainline? is there any related documents? Can you give me some guidance on this? Thanks!
