1. Overview

The cumulative Virtuozzo ReadyKernel patch was updated with an enhancement. The patch applies to the kernels 3.10.0-1062.4.2.vz7.116.7 (Virtuozzo 7.0.12 HF1 and Virtuozzo Infrastructure 3.5), 3.10.0-1062.12.1.vz7.131.10 (Virtuozzo 7.0.13).

2. Bug Fixes

[3.10.0-1062.4.2.vz7.116.7 to 3.10.0-1062.12.1.vz7.131.10] (enhancement) ploop: added interface to dump the cached BAT. It was discovered that containers could get a broken on-disk BAT but have healthy in-kernel data in certain cases. To detect and fix such conditions, the means to dump the cached BAT were implemented in ploop. Note that, to make use of this enhancement, version 7.0.187.4 or newer of the userspace ploop tools is needed. (PSBM-102848)
