[El-errata] New updates available via Ksplice (ELBA-2015-3016)

[Errata Announcements for Oracle Linux]

Synopsis: ELBA-2015-3016 can now be patched using Ksplice

Users with Oracle Linux Premier Support can now use Ksplice to patch
against the latest Oracle kernel update, ELBA-2015-3016.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on EL 6 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

* Cluster deadlock during journal commit in OCFS2 filesystem.

Under certain circumstances, incorrect lock ordering could cause a
deadlock if one thread handles a buffer write at the same time as the
journal commit thread attempts to flush the buffer. If this happens,
the whole cluster will hang.

SUPPORT

Ksplice support is available at ksplice-support_ww at oracle.com.
