...o point out single code change (kernel version, patch) - no conclusions yet. But one has changed much between 4.9.13 and 4.9.25: kernel size and configuration. 4.9.13 size was 6MB and 4.9.24 is 7.1MB. Many modules have been compiled into kernel, here is shortened, but significant list: - iptables (NETFILTER_XTABLES, IP_NF_FILTER, IP_NF_TARGET_REJECT) - SATA_AHCI - ATA_AHCI (PATA, what a heck?) - FBDEV_FRONTEND - HID_MAGICKMOUSE - HID_NTRIG - USB_XHCI - INTEL_SMARTCONNECT Do we really need these compiled into dom0 kernel? I assume, that the biggest change in size is due to yama and CRYPTO_*, and it is not go...

Are the testing kernels (kernel-4.9.37-29.el7 and kernel-4.9.37-29.el6, with the one config file change) working for everyone: (turn off: CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM) If we don't hear any negative comments by Wednesday July 19th, 2017 then we are going to push those to updates as they solve iscsi issues with some hardware and don't seem to impact anything else based on limited testing. BTW
