Hi,
in an effort to keep more people up to date on recent developments to IPVS
I post a report of changes for each kernel release. Sometimes I forget and
combine several release into one report. This report comes at the
end of an extended period of my forgetfulness and
looks at the changes to IPVS in the 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8.
3.3:
* Feature
+ Allow the use of real-server weights with the SH scheduler
3.4:
* Bug Fixes
+ Fix various crash bugs related to the initialisation order
of IPVS components and their dependencies
3.5:
* Bug Fixes
+ Fix oops on rmmod
+ Fix oops in NAT
+ Fix leak in IPv6
* Features:
+ Multi-threaded connection synchronisation
+ New connection synchronisation sysctl parameters:
sync_refresh_period, sync_retries.
+ Improve synchronisation slave handling of unbound connections
3.6
* Bug Fixes
+ Fix information leak in getsockopt IP_VS_SO_GET_TIMEOUT
3.7
* Feature
+ Add pmtu_disc sysctl parameter to allow PMTU of IP-TUN packets
* Bug Fixes
+ Fix ARP resolution and thus DR
- Resolves regression introduced in 3.4
+ Fix IPv6 MTU checking of GSO packets
3.8
* Features
+ SIP fragment handling
+ Complete IPv6 fragment handling
* Bug Fixes
+ Fix IPv6 extension header handling
+ Fix memory leak on error in connection synchronisation daemon
+ fix checksumming on SNAT and DNAT handlers of SCTP
- Present since SCTP was added to IPVS
Queued up for 3.9
* No bug fixes or features
