INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running UEKR5 4.14.35
on OL7 install these updates.

On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,
these updates will be installed automatically and you do not need to
take any action.

Alternatively, you can install these updates by running:

# /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y

DESCRIPTION

* Intel KVM guest stall with posted interrupts.

Incorrect handling of virtual CPU migration to another physical CPU
could result in failure to wakeup under specific conditions causing IO
stalls.
