Hi all, Just a quick heads up for the Aventurin{e} 6108R users:
The official OpenVZ 6 kernel that patches Sceptre/Meltown is now out. The version number for that is 2.6.32-042stab127.2. If you already installed my unofficial "hotwired" 2.6.32-042stab126.666 and rebooted, then you do *not* need to worry. You are already good. A diff between the official 2.6.32-042stab127.2 and the unofficial 2.6.32-042stab126.666 also shows that the OpenVZ kernel maintainers applied the *exact* same patches. diff -ruN ./arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c ../linux-16-to-vz/arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c --- ./arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c 2018-01-07 04:22:45.057056298 +0100 +++ ../linux-16-to-vz/arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c 2018-01-05 08:13:54.251837657 +0100 @@ -325,8 +325,8 @@ pgd_mop_up_pmds(mm, pgd); pgd_dtor(pgd); paravirt_pgd_free(mm, pgd); - free_pages((unsigned long)pgd, PGD_ALLOCATION_ORDER); mm->nr_ptds--; + free_pages((unsigned long)pgd, PGD_ALLOCATION_ORDER); } int ptep_set_access_flags(struct vm_area_struct *vma, The only difference is the ordering of a single line, which (in this context) doesn't seem to matter. Do you need to switch to the official kernel (via a regular "yum update") and do another reboot? I'd say: No, that's not necessary. You're good for now as it is, provided you're running at least 2.6.32-042stab126.666. -- With best regards Michael Stauber _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
