Just a heads-up: starting an unprivileged container on the 4.0.2 kernel that Linode is now defaulting to, will cause a kernel panic.

4.0.1 is not affected.

EDIT: upstream 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 are still affected.

Reference: https://lists.linuxcontainers.org/piper ... 09201.html

This has been experienced on a Ubuntu 14.04 Linode, running kernel 4.0.2-x86_64-linode56, with LXC 1.1.2

Regards,
Phil

Just found out about this and came to see if it had been reported. Glad to see it has been.

For anyone running their own kernels and want to apply the required patches while we wait here you go.

Hello!

Do you know when/if this is going to be patched in the upstream kernel?

It looks like the patches have landed in 4.0.5

I can confirm 4.0.5 does resolve it. I've been running it via pvgrub since this morning. Looks like 4.0.5 has been added to the available kernels list but currently still defaulting to 4.0.4 for a bit. Probably still being worked on right now.
