- [mm] several enhancements on direct reclaim and writeback joint work
- [cpt] CT restore could hang in case of any cpt error handling (PSBM-13440)
- [cpt] deleted /dev/zero file handling has been enhanced during cpt, fixing migration failures on recent kernels. (PSBM-13440)

- [scheduler] idle time stat reported by /proc/stat has been corrected (PCLIN-30773)
