Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2024-d89155aac3
2024-09-27 01:28:07.729457
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : firecracker
Product     : Fedora 40
Version     : 1.9.0
Release     : 1.fc40
URL         : https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/
Summary     : Secure and fast microVMs for serverless computing
Description :
Firecracker is an open source virtualization technology that is purpose-built
for creating and managing secure, multi-tenant container and function-based
services that provide serverless operational models.  Firecracker runs
workloads in lightweight virtual machines, called microVMs, which combine the
security and isolation properties provided by hardware virtualization
technology with the speed and flexibility of containers.

This package does not include all of the security features of an official
release.  It is not production ready without additional sandboxing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Added
Added VMGenID support for microVMs running on ARM hosts with 6.1 guest kernels.
Support for VMGenID via DeviceTree bindings exists only on mainline 6.10 Linux
onwards. Users of Firecracker will need to backport the relevant patches on top
of their 6.1 kernels to make use of the feature.
Added official support for 6.1 microVM guest kernels.
Deprecated
Support for guest kernel 4.14 is now deprecated. We will completely remove 4.14
support with Firecracker version v1.10
Removed
Drop support for host kernel 4.14. Linux 4.14 reached end-of-life in January
2024. The minimum supported kernel now is 5.10. Guest kernel 4.14 is still
supported.
Fixed
Fixed an issue where the virtio-net device implementation would always assume
the guest accepts all VirtIO features the device offers. This is always true
with the Linux guest kernels we are testing but other kernels, like FreeBSD make
different assumptions. This PR fixes the emulation code to set the TAP features
based on the features accepted by the guest.
