Hi Brad, I'm sorry we couldn't get all your PRs merged in time.
I've reviewed all of them, and it appears that none have been tested yet - they have only received code reviews so far. As you know, each PR requires at least two approvals: one code review and one test review. There will always be additional changes we'd like to include in a release, and we've already extended the deadline twice. However, to keep the release process moving forward, we need to draw the line somewhere. I'm sure you understand the importance of sticking to the agreed release schedule. Any PRs that haven't met the merging requirements by the code freeze will be moved to the next maintenance release, 4.22.3. Alternatively, you can target your PRs for the 24.0 release, but please keep in mind that its code freeze is also just a couple of weeks away. Best regards, Vladimir ________________________________ From: Brad House <[email protected]> Sent: 26 October 2026 14:31 To: [email protected] <[email protected]>; Vladimir Petrov <[email protected]>; [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: 4.22.2 Release plan Hmm, so does that mean my pending bugfix PRs for the 4.22 branch won't make it into 4.22.2.0? These are all 100% bug fixes, not features, and we're running all in production ourselves. Most have been open here for > 1 month and I did the requested pinging on the PRs for things that needed to make it into 4.22.2.0 when requested. Critical (Deadlocks, Resource Leaks, Unusable Basic Functionality) * Serialize NIC add/remove on the target VM's work job queue (Fixes Redundant VRs!) https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/14139 * kvm: stop a stuck rbd_open from wedging the agent (fix agent deadlock with rbd!) https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/14199 * engine: do not orphan an instance on a forced power report during start (instance leak!) https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/14207 * engine: do not force the destroy stop while the host may reconnect (instance leak!) https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/14233 High (Similar to Critical, but workarounds may exist) * DRS: honour anti-affinity when planning and executing migrations (without this, DRS makes anti-affinity void) https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/14108 * VPC ACL: apply every CIDR of a multi-CIDR rule, in order (fix for invalid ACL order): https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/14350 Medium (Though these are all about poorly generated FW rules, so could be rated higher) * VPC ACL: keep the ports and ICMP type of rules given by protocol number or as upper-case ICMP https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/14357 * Validate ACL, firewall and routing rule protocols against the list, not as a substring https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/14359 * IPv6 ACL: match protocol-number rules with meta l4proto https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/14360 * VPC ACL: match all ports for a tcp/udp rule given without ports https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/14364 Low * kvm: fix storage pool refcount race and false umount success https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/14189 Thanks. -Brad On 10/26/26 7:20 AM, Vladimir Petrov wrote: Hi all, The planned items for 4.22.2 are now complete, so I would like to announce a code freeze on the 4.22 branch.

I'll work towards cutting 4.22.2.0 RC1, and start the voting process. Appreciate your support. Thanks. [1] https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/milestone/46 P.S.

It reverts a change that inadvertently reduces the CPU quota of VMs using compute offerings with CPU cap enabled once they are restarted or migrated, which may make users feel that the performance of their VMs degraded out of nowhere.
