kernel-3.10.0-1062.1.2.el7.2.scality

This version is kernel-3.10.0-1062.1.2.el7 with the memory cgroup kmem accounting feature (CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM) disabled.

This featue causes kernel memory leaks when using versions of runc that unconditionally enable per-cgroup kernel memory resource accounting, leading to systems becoming unusable when many containers were created.

The links below mention actual leaks of cgroups as well. However, in testing this appears to be fixed in more recent RedHat/CentOS kernel versions.

We disable the feature in the kernel configuration, which however changes its ABI.

kernel-3.10.0-1062.1.2.el7.1.scality

This version is equal to kernel-3.10.0-1062.1.2.el7, except for a small change in the spec file which enables build in an environment where the SOURCES directory is read-only.
