==== diff-cpt-annoying-printk ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:<br/>
[CPT] remove annoying printk

In 2.6.9 printk("=") in refrigerator() is commented out.
We should remove printk(">\n") in cpt. The code with comment
is not removed, but commented out to remember that we have to
return this, if the printk in refrigerator() is uncommented.

<div class="change">

==== diff-cpt-clone-zombie ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:<br/>
[CPT] restoring threads with tsk->fs==NULL

If a nptl thread is ptraced, it does not die immediately
and we can arrive to the state:
<pre>
parent
|
main_thread -----> thread1 [ptraced]
in TASK_ZOMBIE in TASK_ZOMBIE
</pre>

To restore such configuration we do kernel_thread(CLONE_SIGNAL)
in context of main_thread. But if it is exited, it has tsk->fs == NULL
and kernel oopes.

Suggested fix is very simple: we just attach temporary fs_struct
from init task of VE. Also, we have to delay initialization of
tsk->group_exit,
otherwise kernel will not allow us to clone.

This fix is pragmatic.

Better fix would be restructuring of restore to delay zombification
until the last stage of restore. I.e. we could restore all the tree
of alive processes with all the attributes of alive task (fs, mm etc).
And after it is complete, we could make one more pass and collect garbage
killing zombie tasks and clearing fs, mm etc. It would be cleaner
and safer, but requires too much of changes.

Bug #65219.

==== diff-cpt-ptraceme-20060908 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:<br/>
[CPT] SMP race in detecting state of ptraced processes

When suspending VE, we test state of processes while they are
still running. It is not a bug: we have to verify for invalid state
before checkpointing, real state is saved after processes are scheduled
out.

The impact is that we can see process in a bad state, f.e. stopped
without any reasons. It is also not a bug, but this rersults in random
failures of checkpointing. The only way to fix this is to order updates
of state variables. The order is correct almost everywhere.
</div>

==== diff-cpt-restore-mnt-flags-20060831 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Andrey Mirkin <amirkin@openvz.org>:

Mount point's mnt_flags (noexec,nosuid,nodev) were omitted and
not restored correctly.

This patch should be applied with patch for bind mounts
in other case we should do the following:

<ol>
<li> Remove check for bind-mounts in do_remount() function
<li>Change procedure for restoring bind-mounts in next way:
<pre>
do_mount(bind);
do_remount(mnt_flags).
</pre>
</ol>
</div>

==== diff-cpt-rst-dir ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:<br/>
[CPT] do not keep open cwd while restore

>>From the viewpoint of CPT, cwd/root are very similar to an open
file, it is just pair dentry/mnt. Normally, when opening some file
we store it and its inode in special object cache to resolve opening
of the same inode, when some of its aliases (dentries) are deleted.

But it is useless for directories, which cannot be hardlinked ever.
And this consumes numfile UBC, so that restore can fail easily.
So, do not store cwd/root file, unless it is deleted. This does not
solve problem with restoring VE hitting numfiles, but relieves it a lot.

Now we can temporarily increase numfile limit while cpt/rst by 2 and
everything should be OK.

==== diff-cpt-rst-sigdfl-20060830 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:

handler, flags are not set to default. And LTP tests verify
this pathology.

==== diff-cpt-tcp-bind-bug-20060831 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Alexey Kuznetsov <alexey@openvz.org>:<br/>
[CPT] tcp sockets were bind()ed incorrectly during restore

This case was totally missed. Fortunately, this happens rarely.

If checkpoint happens after some listening socket was closed,
but it left behind some children (including timewait buckets),
restore fails to bind them, unless the service used SO_REUSEADDR.

Stress checkpointing of LTP tests did not catch this earlier
only because... I repaired the tests not to fail upon exhaustion
of port space some time ago. Before that they failed with obvious
and harmless diagnosis long before the first binding conflict happened.
</div>

==== diff-cpt-ve-features-20060815 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Andrey Mirkin <amirkin@openvz.org>:

Feature set were not saved in CPT, so VEs based on SUSE template could
fail after restore (VE_FEATURE_SYSFS was lost). Save feature set in place
which were not used before (cpt_os_version and cpt_os_features fields in
image header).

==== diff-ms-nf-compat-non-x86-20060831 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>:<br/>
[NETFILTER] x_tables: fix compat related crash on non-x86

When iptables userspace adds an ipt_standard_target, it calculates the size
of the entire entry as:

<source lang="c">
sizeof(struct ipt_entry) + XT_ALIGN(sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target))
</source>

ipt_standard_target looks like this:

<source lang="c">
struct xt_standard_target
{
struct xt_entry_target target;
int verdict;
};
</source>

xt_entry_target contains a pointer, so when compiled for 64 bit the
structure gets an extra 4 byte of padding at the end. On 32 bit
architectures where iptables aligns to 8 byte it will also have 4
byte padding at the end because it is only 36 bytes large.

The compat_ipt_standard_fn in the kernel adjusts the offsets by

<source lang="c">
sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target) -
sizeof(struct compat_ipt_standard_target),
</source>

which will always result in 4, even if the structure from userspace
was already padded to a multiple of 8. On x86 this works out by
accident because userspace only aligns to 4, on all other
architectures this is broken and causes incorrect adjustments to
the size and following offsets.

Thanks to Linus for lots of debugging help and testing.

Another small but important optimization of kmemsize charges.

Per-UB limitation to the number of TCP timewait buckets.

[PATCH] memory leakage in fib_hash

FIB hash tables and zone structs were never freed.
Each time, when VE is stopped, they leak.

vzctl chkpnt/restore tests bring a system with 4G of ram quite soon.
Of course, vzctl start/stop is not so fast to bring down a system with
decent amount of RAM, but hundreds of thousands of slab entries are still
well visible.

The patch solves leakage in size-128 and most of leakage in size-64.

We still leak two objects in size-64 and 6 entries in size-32.
