Non security issues fixed :

  • Remove zlib module as requirement. (bsc#1020063)

  • Unlimit TaskMax for xfs_repair in emergency shell.
    (bsc#1019938)

  • Resolve symbolic links for -i and -k parameters.
    (bsc#902375)

  • Enhance purge-kernels script to handle kgraft patches.
    (bsc#1017141)

  • Allow booting from degraded MD arrays with systemd.
    (bsc#1017695)

  • Allow booting on s390x with fips=1 on the kernel command line. (bnc#1021687)

  • Start multipath services before local-fs-pre.target.
    (bsc#1005410, bsc#1006118, bsc#1007925)
