→Changes: fix typo softirq(s)
== Changes ==
Since {{kernel link|rhel5|028stab064.8}}:
* Rebase to 2.6.18-164.2.1.el5 kernel, number of CVEs fixed (see below), ext4, driver updates, etc.* vzquota: ext4 support
* Bug fixes for the following issues:
** a Hardware Node may hang while printing the calltraces for all processes (caused by Alt+SysRQ+p magic key interrupt) due to incorrect NMI handling
** veth driver statistic has been enhanced to report correct "tx_dropped" packets value
** UDP hash table size has been significantly increased to speed up UDP traffic handling, which is important for example for Containers running Asterisk servers especially in the Full Proxy mode. Alternatively, UDP hash table size can be configured via <code>uhash_entries=</code>kernel boot parameter
** softirq statistics can be now monitored via the /proc/softirq softirqs file
** root on a Hardware Node may now run some new processes even if the overall number of processes/threads on the Node exceeds the value of <code>kernel.threads-max</code> sysctl. In particular, this feature allows root to login to an overloaded Hardware Node
