Hi,
in an effort to keep more people up to date on recent developments
to LVS I post a report of changes for each kernel release. This
report looks at the changes to LVS in the 2.6.39 kernel.
In all 2.6.39 was a rather busy release for LVS with a total of 92 patches.
Some highlights are:
Features
* Network namespace support
* New synchronisation protocol
* Optimised statistics reading
Bug Fixes
* Allow transmit of GRO aggregated skbs
* Allow fragmented packets to be handled by SIP persistence engine
* Correct zeroing of statistics
Clean-Ups
* Reduce code suse when compiled without CONFIG_SYSCTL
There are no new LVS features queued up for inclusion in Linux 3.0,
it looks like it will be a bug-fix release from an LVS point of view.
This report was generated with the help of the following git log:
# git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
# cd linux-2.6
# git log --no-merges v2.6.38..v2.6.39 -- \
net/netfilter/ipvs/ include/net/ip_vs.h include/linux/ip_vs.h
Which is rather long, an abridged version is:
# git log --oneline --no-merges v2.6.38..v2.6.39 -- \
