On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,

DESCRIPTION

* Filesystem corruption in XFS writeback path.

A race condition in the XFS writeback path can cause some filesystem
pages to not be properly flushed to disk.  This can lead to stale data
being stored on disk, and can potentially cause filesystem corruption.

Orabug: 34655509


* Live fix for XFS writeback corruptions.

This update provides a live repair for filesystems potentially corrupted
by a race condition in the XFS writeback path.
