We have finally filed a number of proposals for the up-coming Containers and CGroups miniconf to be held during Linux Plumbers Conference, 7 to 9 September 2011 in Santa Rosa, CA.
From those proposals, one can clearly see what are our plans regarding the mainline integration. In a few words: dcache management, memory and CPU cgroup controllers improvements, container enter, improved /proc virtualization, checkpoint/restart [mostly] in userspace (of which I have blogged recently), and making vzctl work with mainline kernel containers. Oh, and the interesting loopback-like block device to hold a container filesystem (a.k.a. ploop).
Quite a lot of interesting stuff, what do you think?

I am amazed I haven't seen this bug before... but the fix was pretty easy:
