1. Overview¶
The cumulative Virtuozzo ReadyKernel patch was updated with stability fixes. The patch applies to the kernel 3.10.0-957.10.1.vz7.85.17 (Virtuozzo 7.0 Update 10).
2. Bug Fixes¶
It was found that the memcg ID number of a cgroup was released earlier than needed and could be reused by a different cgroup. As a result, certain reference counters could become corrupted, leading to a kernel crash in memcg_css_release_check_kmem(). (PSBM-94269)
Freeing of a memory cgroup took longer than needed in certain cases. (PSBM-94398)
