Though this is already old, can't find a thread on it here.

Hi,
and what is the question? We do not use Docker.

This also affects google containers and is related to the veth interface structure. So this doesn't affect PVE at all? Consider this:

"Our patch has been reviewed and accepted into the kernel, and is currently being backported to -stable releases back to 3.14 in different distributions (such as Suse, and Canonical)."

If this is docker-only what's SuSE doing with this then and why is the mainstream kernel taking patches?

Sorry for the confusion - this does indeed affect the kernel used by PVE as well, updated kernel packages will be provided soon. Tracked in bug #896
