  • [quota] remounting of FS with quota on ploop could crash host (PSBM-13231)
  • [fs/writeback] writeback writer throttler algorithm has been enhanced

    • "direct_enable" mount option to enable direct IO for fuse mount
  • [fuse] show writeback and dio options in proc

  • [mm] several enhancements on direct reclaim and writeback joint work
  • [cpt] CT restore could hang in case of any cpt error handling (PSBM-13440)
  • [cpt] deleted /dev/zero file handling has been enhanced during cpt, fixing migration failures on recent kernels. (PSBM-13440)
  • [cpt] mount namespaces (for Fedora 17) checkpoint/restore support has been added (PSBM-13004)

  • [fuse] some fairness in handling writeback has been added (PSBM-13465)
  • [mm] dirty pages reclaim process now can be interrupted by SIGKILL to appropriate process. This will help in case the underlying fs is stuck. (PSBM-13566)
  • [cgroups] locking order has been corrected => deadlock has been fixed (PSBM-13297, #2278)
  • [cpt/mqueue/Fedora17] mqueue fs mount inside a CT has been enabled, this fs is needed for Fedora 17. Online migration of a Fedora 17 CT with _empty_ mqueue fs mounted is supported (at the moment we do not know who uses mqueue fs in real life). If mqueue mount is not empty - the online migration fails (PSBM-13213)
  • [cpt] a kernel panic has been fixed
  • [fuse] fuse_flush() must wait till writeback is completed (PSBM-13697)
  • [fuse] synchronous close has been reimplemented
  • [fuse] file size handling has been corrected (PSBM-13216)
  • [ubc/net] potential infinite loop fixed in case network code
  • [pid namespaces] missing BSD_PROCESS_ACCT ifdef added. Required to compile kernel without CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT kernel option (#2273)
  • [fairsched] vmstat floating point operation fixed: idle scaling has been enhanced once again (PCLIN-30773)
  • [scheduler] idle time should not be accounted on "possible" but offline cpus
  • [mm] fix a corner case in memory reclaimer - guarantee to invoke OOM in case of no progress (PCLIN-30976)
  • [cpt] Fedora 17 CTs should not migrate to older kernels without mount namespaces support, other CTs should migrate fine (PSBM-13534)
  • [cpt] allow migration of tasks with SCHED_IDLE or SCHED_BATCH scheduler policy set (#2283)
  • [fuse] PCS special files i_size handling has been fixed in case writeback is enabled (PSBM-13636)
  • [pfcache] lockdep false-positive report fixed. The report is false-positive only in case we do not enable pfcache for pfcache cache.
  • [scheduler] compilation without CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS config option fixed (#2299)
