Hi Dann
You asked about the latest status and here it is.
Please tell which ones you want me to fix for the next lenny release of the kernel. I'll prepare
a patch and regression test that version for you.
Wow Ola, thanks - great detail. I'll look this over and get back to
you.
#510787:
Refers to an other bug report that was not openvz specific. Should it be
forwarded to an non-openvz version of the kernel or kept here?
In any case I have added latest information to the report and told where
the problem has been forwarded.
#511165:
Patch exist for 2.6.24 and 2.6.26. Fix is available in
http://git.openvz.org/?p=linux-2.6.26-openvz;a=commit;h=b5e1f74cee5bc2c45bdca53a7218fb8de89215dd
Not sure if this is an ABI breaker.
#500876:
Fix available in:
http://git.openvz.org/?p=linux-2.6.26-openvz;a=commit;h=777e8164ebf8a03e43511983cdec472f8691a8af
Problem is about to be verified. Regression tested without problems seen.
#503097:
Reported as http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=930
Seems to be a duplicate of #500876 above.
#505174:
This is a request to go up to the latest version that includes fixes for
all the ones in this mail that describe that there is a fix available.
Unfortunatly there are ABI breakers...
#508773:
Patch available in http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1054

Do not look like an ABI breaker to me.

Marked as dupliate of http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1067
Not solved yet.
#501985:
From: maximilian attems
the upstream nfs fixes are abi breakers and thus can't be integrated
at this point they will be for the first point release were abi
breaking will be allowed again.
#494445:
There are a number of problems in this area. Fixes are available.
However some of them are ABI breakers.
#500645:
Fix available in http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1034
http://git.openvz.org/?p=linux-2.6.26-openvz;a=commit;h=6d18ba377cfa3e86ee830fe6a5fce52b8fd51039
I can not see that this is an ABI breaker, so it should be possibly to
apply this one without problem.
Best regards,

hey,
The first lenny update is scheduled for early April, so I wanted to
start coordinating the kernel update.
Security
--------
The lenny-security branch is currently caught up on security issues,
so I'd like to release a DSA later this week. I'd appreciate it if the
individual arch maintainers could test builds from this branch ahead
of time. The CVE-2009-0029 touch a lot of arch-specific code and
though they applied pretty easily to the lenny kernel, it'd still be
good to get some testing there. I noticed that the snapshot archive
now has a lenny-security dist for some archs (thanks waldi)
Stable
------
There are several fixes queued up for a stable upload. I have a
few more small fixes from jmm to review/commit as well, and it looks
like tbm has an RTC regression fix pending. I've seen mentions of
OpenVZ fixes from Ola/maks - what is the status of those? Are there
any other changes people are working on?
ABI changes
-----------
The security fixes don't currently break the ABI. It sounds like the
openvz fixes are ABI-breaking?. If it is going to be ready for this
update and does break the ABI, I'd also like to get the hppa
large-module fix in. And, of course, we'll need to notify the d-i team
of this change.
