Warning: This kernel branch is currently frozen. Essentially that means it is neither maintained nor supported, could contain security vulnerabilities and other bugs, and generally should not be used. Please check the list of supported kernel branches at Download/kernel page.

Warning: this is an old version of 2.6.24 kernel. For the latest version, see Download/kernel/2.6.24/2.6.24-ovz009.1.

Changes

(since 2.6.24-ovz002.2)

• SIT tunnel driver fix to work in container.
• Critical connection tracking bugfixes.
• "Hide container processes in host system" feature. Controlled by kernel.pid_ns_hide_child sysctl, disabled by default.
• Fairsched is back based on mainline group scheduling. Container processes are scheduled into one group.
• Fixed uevent generation in container (OpenVZ Bug #840).
• Fixed tun/tap creation in container.
• Fixes in container's sysfs (OpenVZ Bug #852).
• Fixed compilation without CONFIG_SYSFS set
• Register /dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/full, /dev/random and /dev/urandom inside container

For the complete list of changes in this release, see git changelog for kernel v2.6.24-ovz004.

Compatibility notes

• Fields start_tag, value and delay in fairsched proc files are stubbed to zeroes due to complete scheduler internals overhaul.

Config changes

Same as 2.6.24-ovz002.2, plus:

• -CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS (was 'y'; CPT was workarounded, option now unneeded)
• -CONFIG_FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED=y
• +CONFIG_VZ_FAIRSCHED=y (Fairsched died, long live Fairsched)
• +CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y (was forgotten)

RPMS

You need only one kernel RPM so please choose the appropriate one depending on your hardware:

• If your x86 (i686, IA32) machine has more than 4 GB of RAM, choose kernel-PAE RPM.
• Otherwise, use the plain kernel RPM (i.e. kernel).

For more info, see Kernel flavors.
