Checklist
From Linux Checkpoint / Restart Wiki
What is implemented (maybe these should be in a more sensible order :)
* open regular files and directories: * ext2, ext3, ext4 * /dev/null, zero, random, urandom * epoll fd's * unix sockets * ipv4 sockets (except lingering sockets) * SYSV IPC (message queues, semaphores, and shared memory) * except semaphore undo * Unix98 ptys * eventfd * futexes * process ids * credentials (userid, group, and POSIX capabilities) * Smack LSM labels * pipes * FIFOs * signals * multiple processes, threads * nested namespaces of: * user * IPC * UTS (hostname) * IPC * (nested pid namespaces only require userspace support) * timerfd * signalfd
What is NOT implemented (please make each a link to a page describing issues, a design for solving, how we will detect it to refuse checkpoint if we will not support it, and "how ugly it will make the kernel")
* mounts * network devices * unlinked files * inotify * SYSV IPC: semaphore undo * netlink * file locks * file leases * fowner+sigio * ptraced tasks * time namespace
