[Impact] In order to support live migration in OCI, we need to filter enslaved network devices during boot. Without that OCI instances will freeze after migration.
In order to avoid regressions for other users, the new behaviour is being conditioned to the existence of "/conf/conf.d/skip-enslaved- devices" in the initrd image. This mechanism enable us to use it only for the required kernels. For the OCI use case, linux-oracle will be responsible to include the config file via an initramfs-tools hook. [Test Case] Currently the OCI use case can only be tested internally by Oracle since live migration is still no available. For any other scenarios, the behaviour should not be changed. [Regression Potential] The potential for regressions was vastly reduced by conditioning the new behaviour. ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1802591 Title: Skip enslaved devices during boot Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: In order to support live migration in OCI, we need to filter enslaved devices during boot.
