==== diff-cpt-synwait-restore-lock-20080821 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>

cpt: lock sock before restoring its synwait queue

This new socket already has all the necessary TCP timers armed,
so tcp_keepalive_timer can fire during the rst_restore_synwait_queue
and (for the latter being lockless) can spoil the queue.

Locking in the restoring procedure is requires.

vfs: fix lock inversion in drop_pagecache_sb()

backport mainstream commit: eccb95cee4f0d56faa46ef22fb94dd4a3578d3eb

Fix longstanding lock inversion in drop_pagecache_sb by dropping inode_lock
before calling __invalidate_mapping_pages(). We just have to make sure inode
won't go away from under us by keeping reference to it and putting the
reference only after we have safely resumed the scan of the inode list. A bit
tricky but not too bad…

==== diff-cpt-add-snmp-stats-20080930 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>

cpt: dump and restore global snmp statistics

Per device exists for ipv6 only and is probably not used now, but
anyway — I'll do it later.

This patch adds new section CPT_SECT_SNMP_STATS that is populated
with CPT_OBJ_BITS set of objects — one for each type of statistics.
Objects have variable length. Stats are stored as a plain array of
__u32 numbers and thus the order in which stats types are stored is
implicitly hard-coded.

In case we do not have an IPV6 turned on all ipv6 stats are dumped
as CPT_OBJ_BITS/CPT_CONTENT_VOID and are skipped on restore.

When we restore from an image with more stats in any type, the not
supported ones are dropped with a warning.

Stats add 28K to image file.

Bug #113930.

==== diff-cpt-fix-cpt_family-restore-20080915 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Vitaliy Gusev <vgusev@openvz.org>

[PATCH] rst: Fix memory corruption if cpt_family is wrong.

During restore, if parent socket is AF_INET but cpt_family is
wrong (non initialized, see bug ##95113), then consider request as
related to AF_INET6 is not right and leads to memory corruption.

As there are a lot of buggy images, so we can't check only on values
AF_INET and AF_INET6.

Decision:
- Check request on AF_INET6 first, and consider
request as AF_INET by default.
- Additionally checkup for AF_INET6 request (protect from
random value cpt_family == AF_INET6)

Patch from Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>

cpt: add support for ipip tunnel

Actually, sit also uses the ip_tunnel structure I'm saving
and restoring in the image, but this only adds support for
ipip device (sit will be checked later).

I add new object type and store most of the ip_tunnel_parm
contents. Restoration is a little bit more tricky, as the
fb device is created on container start.

==== diff-cpt-open-init-stds-early-20080923 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>

cpt: fix restoring of /dev/null opened early by init

The problem is the following:
* init from fc9 starts and opens /dev/null for its stdin, stdout and stderr
* udev starts and overmounts /dev with tmpfs

After this cpt cannot dump this ve, since one process holds a file,
that is inaccessible from ve root.

The proposed solution is the following:
# allow for /dev/null to be over-mounted
# restore init's file in two stages:
* stage1: *before* we restored mounts restore init's 0, 1 and 2 file descriptors, since most likely (in fc9 case — definitely) init opened them before any other manipulations with fs;
* stage2: restore the rest files later, at usual time to make sore that e.g. sockets etc are restored properly.

Comment from Alexey:

ACK.

Though this is really ugly, it really produces 100% correct result
for this particular situation.

Bug #116261.

==== diff-cpt-sit-20080930 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>

cpt: add sit devices migration

The code mostly re-uses the ipip migration one, by adding
the CPT_DEV_SIT flag to the image, thus making the name
CPT_OBJ_NET_IPIP_TUNNEL a bit confusing :(

Bug #115412.

==== diff-ms-copyfiles-20080910 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Denis Lunev <den@openvz.org>
ms: properly assign value to the tsk->files

The race is the following:

slm_task_inst_usage
task_lock(t);
files = t->files;
flush_old_exec
unshare_files
copy_files
put_files_struct
files->fdt

So, we are definitely accessing already freed memory for the case.
The only correct fix for the case is to bound the assignment with
task_lock.

==== diff-ve-drop-oom-immunity-at-enter-20080901 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@openvz.org>

drop OOM protection at entering to CT

At CT enter switch to default OOM adjustment level if task is OOM-immune.

This is a very bad idea to have OOM-unkillable tasks inside container,
because all forked tasks inherit this setting.

Proc interface for changing OOM adjustment (/proc/<pid>/oom_adj)
already restricted in CT by diff-ve-oom-adjust-20070604.

On some systems sshd got OOM protection at start and not drop it after fork.

(example: ssh root@HN -> vzctl enter -> restart apache — apache now OOM immune)

(example from xemul@: ssh root@HN vzctl start — VE is now OOM immune)

Patch from Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@openvz.org>

Fix idle time account in case of iowait tasks presence

one uninterruptible task block idle time counter on all idle vcpus in ve.

originaly at diff-ve-fairsched-statiow-20050823 idle time after strt_idle_time
accounted in idle or iowait depends on total count of uninterruptible tasks,
but after diff-ve-sched-stat-iowait-20060417 and diff-ve-iowait-20060525
iowait branch triggered by nonzero vcpu_rq(vcpu)->nr_iowait.

this patch do the same for idle branch.

split interface into two functions:

ve_sched_get_idle_time(cpu) — cpu idle time in current ve.

ve_sched_get_idle_time_total(ve) — ve total idle time.

v2 changes:

change __ve_sched_get_idle_time second argument from vsched to vcpu and make it
optional — without vcpu time after strt_idle_time not accounted as idle.

remove vsched lookup code in case if ve init task not in ve vsched
(init was dead and VE in the middle of shutdown process),
in this case no reason to care about idle-time accounting accuracy.
