o bugfix
- dependency bugfix, linux/fs/mount.h, reported by Jan Luca Naumann and
Philipp Marek.
o news
- linux-v4.9 is released, so is aufs4.9.
+ support new rename flags.
- new create policy tdmfs, requested by Brenden Carvalho.
Currently there are two known problems in aufs.
- "MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS too low" message
Most users won't meet this message since this msg is from a debugging
feature called LOCKDEP. When this message appears in your kernel log,
then LOCKDEP debugging feature is turned off and this must be bad for
you. Aufs already provides a patch "lockdep-debug.patch" in
aufs4-standalone.git which expands the LOCKDEP internal data as
possible. Apply this patch first, but you may meet this "too low"
message again because the kernel is growing and no rooms left for aufs
now. Curretnly I don't have a solution for this problem.
- DAX in aufs4.9
In mainline, the feature called DAX is massively changing now and aufs
doesn't follow it fully. Before v4.9, aufs supports DAX expectedly.
But DAX itself in mainline is not working expectedly in these days
regardless aufs. When I confirm that DAX works, aufs will be able to
follow the behaviour.
This is the last release in this year.
Have nice holidays.
