2. Bug Fixes

  • [3.10.0-957.12.2.vz7.96.21 to 3.10.0-1062.12.1.vz7.131.10] Slow memory allocations in nf_conntrack when a netns is created. When a new netns is created, high-order page allocations can happen in nf_ct_alloc_hashtable(). If memory is fragmented, such allocations can become very slow due to memory reclaim, etc. This, in turn, could result in significant slowdowns on the node. (PSBM-103518)

  • [3.10.0-862.20.2.vz7.73.29 to 3.10.0-1062.12.1.vz7.131.10] i40iw: kernel complains about failed RTNL assertion in i40iw_addr_resolve_neigh(). (VSTOR-33397)
