For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
page(s) listed in the References section.
Bug Fix(es):
* A gfs2 withdrawal occurs function = gfs2_setbit, file = fs/gfs2/rgrp.c,
line = 109 (BZ#1364234)
* i40e SR-IOV TX driver issue detected on VF 7 - VF connectivity loose
after VF down/up (BZ#1977246)
* duplicate ACK not sent when expected (BZ#1990665)
* [kernel-debug] BUG: bad unlock balance detected! when running LTP
read_all (BZ#2006536)
* Rudimentary support for AMD Milan - Call init_amd_zn() om Family 19h
processors (BZ#2019218)
* A VM with <=8 CPUs handles all the Mellanox NIC interrupts on CPU0 only,
causing low performance (BZ#2019272)
* fix _PSD override quirk for AMD family 19h+ (BZ#2019588)
* generic_file_aio_read returns 0 when interrupted early with a fatal
signal (BZ#2020857)
