LXCFS upgrade request

[Chihaya Kato]

I'd like to request lxcfs be upgraded in xenxial-updates / etc to the lastest master 3e7a0e6 as it fixes a relatively problematic memory reporting error in large memory usage LXC containters, you can find some of the related issues here: https://github.com/lxc/lxcfs/issues/175 https://github.com/lxc/lxcfs/issues/120 https://github.com/lxc/lxcfs/issues/210 https://github.com/lxc/lxcfs/issues/218 https://github.com/lxc/lxcfs/issues/222 etc

I have a container that is being used for a relatively large memory usage application and the container frequently reports 20GiB+ more usage than it actually is using and eventually gets to the point of swapping because it thinks it is OOM. Supposedly the latest commit + a few previous ones fixes this. I'd like to get it rolled out to xenial-updates if possible.

@stgraber - is lxcfs part of what you do stable upgrades for anyway? And if so will this be fixed by backports - or is this not meant to be backported for some reasons?

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

Yes, we'll have a new lxcfs bugfix release out in the next month or so which will include those fixes.
