• [cfq] kernel BUG at block/cfq-iosched.c:386 has been fixed (PCLIN-30890)

• [fuse] flush writeback data on file close. In particular this fixes checkpointing (PSBM-13226)
• [fuse] several other bugfixes
• [quota] remounting of FS with quota on ploop could crash host (PSBM-13231)
• [fs/writeback] writeback writer throttler algorithm has been enhanced

• [ploop] support for 'expanded' format to io_kaio, support for snapshot, merge and pcopy (migrate) operations has been added (PSBM-12830)
• [ploop] we support only ploop over NFS v3 => ploop mount over NFSv4 has been prohibited (PSBM-13376)
