INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running UEKR6 5.4.17 on
OL7 and OL8 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

* Soft lockups while processing PARENT_WATCHED inode flags.

Lock contention when performing certain operations related to the
PARENT_WATCHED inode flag can lead to soft lockups.  This flaw degrades
performance on running systems.
