RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Technology Preview
Doc Text:
.`criu` available as a Technology Preview Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 introduced the `criu` tool as a Technology Preview. This tool implements *Checkpoint/Restore in User-space (CRIU)*, which can be used to freeze a running application and store it as a collection of files. Later, the application can be restored from its frozen state. Note that the `criu` tool depends on `Protocol Buffers`, a language-neutral, platform-neutral extensible mechanism for serializing structured data. The `protobuf` and `protobuf-c` packages, which provide this dependency, were also introduced in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 as a Technology Preview. Since Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8, the `criu` package provides support for Podman to do a container checkpoint and restore. The newly added functionality only works without SELinux support.

Description Adrian Reber 2016-11-30 17:30:45 UTC
As long as criu is a technology preview we should try to follow upstream. Upstream is still fast moving and is still implementing important features.

Comment 8 Adrian Reber 2017-05-03 11:35:41 UTC
Hi Marie,

sorry for forgetting about this.

criu has been upgrade from 2.3 in RHEL 7.3  to 2.12 RHEL 7.4. As long as it is still a technology preview we are taking whatever version upstream releases.

Most important changes, hmm, a lot has changed. One thing is that additional states of TCP sockets are supported. Not only listening and established sockets can be restored, but also half-closed sockets. mac-vlan devices are supported. Memory changes tracking for anonymous shared memory.

There is also another documentation effort ongoing for another criu related feature:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1428351

Although it is not yet totally clear what will be part of RHEL 7.4
