CHANGELOG.md Outdated
Comment on lines 12 to 14
original container spec did not include linux.intelRdt. Without intelRdt in
the spec, no CLOS (resctrl group) is created for the container, so these
options cannot be properly applied. (#4827)

Since this is a breaking change entry in the changelog, it would be nice for this last sentence (explaining why the breaking change was necessary / that the original feature didn't work) to be a little bit longer.

Also, we tend to refer to the initial configuration as config.json directly in runc docs.

Something like

Suggested change
original container spec did not include linux.intelRdt. Without intelRdt in
the spec, no CLOS (resctrl group) is created for the container, so these
options cannot be properly applied. (#4827)
original `config.json` did not include `linux.intelRdt`.
The reason for this change is that if `linux.intelRdt` is missing
from `config.json` when the container was created, no CLOS (resctrl
group) will be created, and so it is not possible to apply the
updated options with `runc update`.
Previously, runc would **FILL IN WITH PREVIOUS RUNC BEHAVIOUR AND
HOW IT WAS BROKEN**. (#4827)

(This also includes @lifubang's suggestion.)
