Issue date: 2021-05-31
Applies to: Virtuozzo Hybrid Server 7.5
Virtuozzo Advisory ID: VZA-2021-027
1. Overview¶
The cumulative Virtuozzo ReadyKernel patch was updated with stability fixes. The patch applies to the kernels 3.10.0-1160.21.1.vz7.174.13 (Virtuozzo Hybrid Server 7.5 Update 1).
2. Bug Fixes¶
sch_teql: kernel crash in teql_destroy(). (PSBM-128205)
I/O operations could be significantly slower if ‘io_kaio’ rather than ‘io_direct’ I/O engine was used by ploop. It was discovered that file preallocation was not requested by ploop with ‘io_kaio’ I/O engine. As a result, certain write operations to ploop devices could be significantly slower with ‘io_kaio’ than with ‘io_direct’ I/O engine. (PSBM-129303)
ext4: timestamps could be updated in wrong inodes in certain cases, if the filesystem was mounted with ‘lazytime’ option. (PSBM-129374)
‘pcompact’ operation could trigger memory leaks when ‘io_kaio’ I/O engine was used by ploop. (PSBM-129412)
netfilter: potential kernel crash in nft_rbtree_deactivate(). (PSBM-129500)
3. Installing the Update¶
