Hi! The Linux-v3.7 is out, and it's good time to release the next version of the checkpoint-restore tool.
This is mostly bugfix and improvements release, however it's worth mentioning some new interesting features * Proper COW mappings handling Now anonymous private mappings are not COW-ed at restore, but pages that were shared remain such [1] * Full support for PF_PACKET sockets, thus letting us to C/R the tcpdump tool * The --shell-job option, which makes it possible to dump apps launched from one shell and restore them in another [2] Some features are still available with the custom kernel, but things are eventually getting merged upstream. In particular the 3.7 now has support for C/R-ing of LXC containers' network devices, the initial support for packet sockets and a couple of fixes for TCP repair code. The v0.3 can be downloaded from http://download.openvz.org/criu/crtools-0.3.tar.bz2 The project home is at http://criu.org [1] https://plus.google.com/103175467322423551911/posts/bkgqbGTHfSt [2] https://plus.google.com/103175467322423551911/posts/AYEu9w5HXiH Thanks, Pavel -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
