* [dcache] introduce per-bc dcache lru lists with real time shrink. Underlying dcache can be immediately shrunk if sysctl "ubc.dcache_no_vzfs_cache" is set (PSBM-16072)

* [vSwap] virtual vSwap feature has been introduced => now vSwap does not require free physical swap on the HN (PSBM-16764)

** vmscan priority is calculated for all LRU vectors according to its memory usage/limit and age of LRU lists.
 +
** sysctls:
 +
*** vm.usage_factor  (default 2)
 +
*** vm.shadow_factor (default 8)
 +
*** vm.age_factor    (default 8)
 +
*** priority = 12 + usage * usage_factor / limit + shadow * shadow_factor / limit (for shadow part only) + age * age_factor / max_age

<!-- 071.2 -->
 
* [media/rc] a possible kernel panic on "rc-core" module unload has been fixed
 
* [fs/epoll] spurious lockdep warnings has been eliminated
 
* [mm/hugepages] hugepages are now accounted inside a CT (to kmemsize and lockedpages) (PSBM-17327)
 
* [ubc] swap failcounters should not be incremented in case of non fatal shortage
 
* [mm] a new formula has been implemented for pagecache reclaimer (PSBM-15799)
 
* [ubc] fix BUG due to sleep-in-atomic in set_gang_limits()
 
* [mm] limit the CT memory portion by its commitment. In simple words: if you have single 256mb container on 1gb machine it's portion should be 256m, not 1gb.
 
* [mm] set commitment to 0 for unlimited containers. For vmscan priorities that means that their effective memory portion is exactly equal to memory usage and give no bonuses for eliminating penalties for aged pages.
 
* [cpt] make vzreboot be able to work with new vSwap implementation (without necessity of physical swap) (PSBM-17124)
 
* [ploop] fix lockdep complains about bd_full acquiring (PSBM-13653)

<!-- 072.2 -->
 
* [mm] do not force scanning top priority lru vectors, this could result into forced push anon memory to swap (PSBM-17443)
 
* [mm] struct gang size decreased to 16Kb, this should eliminate often memory allocation failures on CT start (PSBM-17433)
 
* [fs] lockdep locking classes for virtualized filesystem types has been fixed
 
* [fs] CT O_DIRECT and fsync settings checks have been corrected (PSBM-17157)
 
* [pfcache] fix using uninitialized data on pfcache mounting
