2012, January 12, 20:42: Linus Torvalds merges Andrew's "patch-bomb" with the
first CRIU kernel patches including the comment "... a project by various mad
Russians to perform c/r mainly from userspace".

Now, five years later, Docker decided to integrate this project for
checkpointing their containers. A valid reason for us to check out if this
can also be good stuff for the Mainframe. After looking at the code at least
one thing is clear now - it is ... crazy.

In this presentation we explain the deep technical details of checkpointing
Linux processes in userspace including the Mainframe specific parts. We also
show how CRIU can be used for Docker container checkpoints and for other
promising scenarios.

So, Mission critical workload with CRIU or Mission impossible?
