| |
| skiboot-5.1.8 is the 9th stable release of 5.1, it follows skiboot-5.1.7 |
| (which was released October 13th, 2015). |
| |
| Skiboot 5.1.8 contains all fixes from skiboot-5.1.7 and is a minor bug |
| fix release, with a single fix for recovery from a (rare) error. |
| |
| Over skiboot-5.1.7, we have the following change: |
| |
| - opal/hmi: Fix a soft lockup issue on Hypervisor Maintenance Interrupt |
| for certain timebase errors. |
| |
| We also introduce a timeout to handle the worst situation where all other |
| threads are badly stuck without setting a cleanup done bit. Under such |
| situation timeout will help to avoid soft lockups and report failure to |
| kernel. |
