ChangesEdit

Since 042stab053.5:

• [procfs] [major] make reading /proc/mounts consistent. Now we should get much less timeouts on CT stops. [PSBM-12119]
• [ext4] [major] online resize has been significantly enhanced [PSBM-12197]
• [timer] [minor] kmemsize leaks for 5457 has been fixed [PSBM-11885]
• [oom] [major] now OOM can effectively struggle against fork bombs [PSBM-11920]
• 5 possible memory leaks were fixed in various places, found internally
• [bridge] [minor] kernel panic in bridge code in case NAT rules are configured improperly [PSBM-11782]
• [cpt] [minor] kernel panic in case a dead task gets into cpt image [PCLIN-30811]
• [cpt] [minor] we do align the size of cpt image. Online migration could fail due to tar which exits before reading the align tail. [PCLIN-30804]
• [fuse] [major] FUSE improvements:
  • write-back cache support;
  • O_DIRECT support;
  • AIO support;
  • dentry cache revalidation timeout turn off;
  • All the new features are turned on/off via /proc/sys/fs/fuse_ext_caps sysctl. When off (default), the existing behavior doesn't change.
• [ploop] [minor] possible deadlock detected by lockdep fixed [PSBM-12210]
