Dear Pavel,
we do not 'just repack' stable RHEL kernels, we add own functionality,
we have own original usecases that are out of focus of Red Hat.
We regularly found and report issue affected RHEL and sometime mainline linux kernels.
Last RHEL6 patch was 250+ kB size and changed 180 files,
it was not cosmetic changes that cannot affect our functionality.
We have detected such troubles before.
For example recent stackguard fix broke CPT in vz6 kernel
http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/06/22/6
we timely detected the problem and released fixed kernels
so our users was not noticed it.
This time our testing found that last Red Hat changes broke CRIU,
that's why my collegians have still not released update for Vz/OpenVz 7 (I hope they will finish soon).
The same issue affects vz6 kernels too however our carefull testing did not detected any (new) troubles,
seems criu usecase is really very special.
So please, say thanks to our glorious QA for their hard, important and almost invisible work.
Thank you,
Vasily Averin
