</div>

==== diff-cpt-cwd-error ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

[CPT] error was not reported when CWD cannot be saved



NOTE. Until recently I honestly did not know that paths with

length &gt; PATH_MAX are not prohibited. At the moment checkpointing

fails, when some file/cwd/... has such a path. We could save it

correctly, it is not a problem, but I have no code for restore of

such paths, it is going to be real tricky.

</div>



==== diff-cpt-direct-aio ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

[CPT] AIO for O_DIRECT



It was supposed to work, but happened to be a little buggy.

We waited for AIO completion _after_ dumping VM, so that the ring

went out of sync.



Also, we cannot read/write on O_DIRECT files with kernel buffer

Kernel tries get_user_pages() and fails.



</div>

==== diff-cpt-emt64-hrtimer ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

[X86_64] Upgrade compat.c to use hrtimer



Must be pushed to mainstream

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

by x86_64 maintainers

</div>

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

[X86_64] An ugly fixup for previous patch to cure x86_64 strace



It is crazy, strace distinguishes ia32 emulated programs by numeric

value of segment reg. :-)

</div>



==== diff-cpt-eventpoll ====

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

==== diff-cpt-kconfig-fix ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Pavel Emelianov &lt;xemul@openvz.org&gt;:



Fix kernel/power/Kconfig to remove SOFTWARE_SUSPEND dependency on

SMP. Needed by CPT.

</div>



==== diff-cpt-makefile-kconfig ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

[VZ] Hook cpt/ to build system

</div>



==== diff-cpt-modules ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

[CPT] CPT modules

</div>



==== diff-cpt-networking ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

[CPT KERNEL] Comb networking for CPT

</div>



==== diff-cpt-ngroups ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

[CPT] &gt; 32 supplementary groups are not checkpointed<br/>

Bug is not fixed, too hairy on pre-release time. We just fail.

Comment is added.

</div>



==== diff-cpt-restore-tty-attrs ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

[CPT] tty attributes were restored incorrectly



setattr mask was uninitialized and i_size on tty inodes was

restored at a random value. At the first sight it is difficult

to notice, i_size on tty inodes is never used. But glibc uses

stat64 and translates the result. When i_size is weird enough,

stat() returns EOVERFLOW. In this case ps skips correct path and

find the next appropriate variant, which is /dev/pts/N.



BTW this opens another (minor) problem. If a process inside VE

has controlling terminal, but it is not open by this process

(f.e. do sleep 3600 &lt; /dev/null &gt;&amp; /dev/null &amp;), ps will show

wrong pts path too.

</div>



==== diff-cpt-swap-err ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

[KERNEL] Do not map random pages while swapoff errors



If read failed we cannot map not-uptodate page to

user space. It is an obvious security issue, plus it is not sane.

Actually, we are in serious troubles, we do not even know what process

to kill. So, the only variant remains: to stop swapoff() and allow someone

to kill processes to zap invalid pages.

</div>



==== diff-cpt-task-size ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

[CPT X86_64] Fix task size for ia32/x86_64.<br/>



Otherwise we cannot migrate from ia32/x86_64 to i386



</div>

==== diff-cpt-vsyscall-disable ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

[CPT KERNEL] Add sysctls to disable exporting vsyscall. Disable it by

default.<br/>



Note, the page still exists and mapped. We just do not tell to dynamic

loader about this.



</div>

==== diff-cpt-x8664-mm ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

[CPT] forgotten chunk in cpt_mm.c<br/>



Ugly, but necessary.



</div>

==== diff-cpt-zombie-count ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Pavel Emelianov &lt;xemul@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

Increment zombie count on restoring if creating a zombie process.



</div>

==== diff-getppid-fix-20060307 ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Pavel Emelianov &lt;xemul@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

Move old code in sys_getppid back when debugging is off.

Taking tasklist_lock each time decreases performance and

nothing more in non-debugging case.



Noticed by Kirill Korotaev &lt;dev@openvz.org&gt;



</div>

==== diff-ipc-memcpy-bug-20060413 ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

SYSV IPC writes beyond allocated memory



</div>

==== diff-list-firt-entry ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Pavel Emelianov &lt;xemul@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

Add list_firt_entry() macro



</div>

==== diff-merge-2.6.16.5-20060413 ====

<div class="change">

Patch from OpenVZ team &lt;devel@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

Merge /linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.16.y



</div>

==== diff-ms-ia64-unaligned-ratelimit ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Pavel Emelianov &lt;xemul@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

Rate limit unaligned access warnings from kernel



</div>

==== diff-ms-ia64-unalign-skrunfilter ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Dmitry Mishin &lt;dim@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

Fixed unaligned access in sk_run_filter.

Data offset comes from userspace, so use of get_unaligned() is the best way.



</div>

==== diff-oops-decode ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Kirill Korotaev &lt;dev@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

Added sysctl variable to disable automatic call traces decoding.

Required for machines not connected to any kind of console.



</div>

==== diff-security-ipid-20060324 ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

[TCP]: Do not use inet-&gt;id of global tcp_socket when sending RST.<br/>



The problem is in ip_push_pending_frames(), which uses:<br/>



<pre>

        if (!df) {

                __ip_select_ident(iph, &amp;rt-&gt;u.dst, 0);

        } else {

                iph-&gt;id = htons(inet-&gt;id++);

        }

</pre>

instead of ip_select_ident().<br/>



Right now I think the code is a nonsense. Most likely, I copied it from

old ip_build_xmit(), where it was really special, we had to decide

whether to generate unique ID when generating the first (well, the last)

fragment.<br/>



In ip_push_pending_frames() it does not make sense, it should use plain

ip_select_ident() instead.<br/>

<div class="change">

Patch from Pavel Emelianov &lt;xemul@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

Some fixes of page beancounters accounting.

<ul>

* moved pb_alloc_all closer to pb_alloc and co;

<li>removed pb_add_list_ref - now pb_add_ref acts similar

   in both cases;</li>

<li>changed logic on copying pages - if a page isn't

   accounted in pbc for parent it will not be in child.

   pb_dup_ref was introduced for it.</li>

</ul>



</div>

==== diff-ubc-mlock-deadlock-20060412 ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov &lt;alexey@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

Mlock was ported incorrectly<br/>

Two bugs actually:<br/>

1. In 2.6 mlock_fixup _MUST_ return correct prev VMA, otherwise

   mlockall deadlocks.<br/>

2. Inaccurate port: in error path memory is not uncharged.



</div>

==== diff-ubc-page-uncharge-race-20060414 ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Pavel Emelianov &lt;xemul@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

Fix of race between ub_page_charge/_uncharge.<br/>



Pages were first put into global list of free pages and ther - uncharged.

During this gap page_alloc could charge not uncharged yet page thus

causing a BUG().<br/>



Moved ub_page_uncharge above freeing and out of local_irq_save to reduce

time spent with irqs off.

==== diff-ubc-pbfree-oops-20060417 ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Pavel Emelianov &lt;xemul@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

Wrong error path in copy_pte_range.<br/>



pb_free_list must be called since pbc may be<br/>

1. set to PB_COPE_SAME, but pb_free is unaware of it (OOPs);<br/>

2. allocated with pb_alloc_list and pb_free will leak all but one.<br/>



pb_alloc_list may be called more than once (goto again;) so

pb_free_list must be called even on pb_alloc_list failure to

cleanup first call allocations.



</div>

==== diff-ubc-zero-page-fix-20060417 ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Pavel Emelianov &lt;xemul@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

Don't pb_add_ref to ZERO_PAGE in do_anonymous_page

since ZERO_PAGE must not have refs at all.

Also remove __pb_alloc as noone need it anymore.



</div>

==== diff-ve-exec-set-links-20060403 ====

<div class="change">

Patch from Pavel Emelianov &lt;xemul@openvz.org&gt;:<br/>

Add task to VPS task list on exec.<br/>

If a non-leader thread calls exec it becomes a thread group leader and thus

SET_VE_LINKS/REMOVE_VE_LINKS will manipulate list on this task.

Meanwhile such task after exec will not be in list because it was not added

there on fork. This may lead to creation of invisible by ps task, unstopable

VPS, since do_initproc_exit will not find this task to kill it, and even ve task

list corruption.
