<h1>skiboot-5.1.16<a class="headerlink" href="#skiboot-5-1-16" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>skiboot-5.1.16 was released on Friday April 29th, 2016.</p>
<p>skiboot-5.1.16 is the 17th stable release of 5.1, it follows skiboot-5.1.15
(which was released March 16th, 2016).</p>
<p>This release contains a few bug fixes and is a recommended upgrade.</p>

<ul>
<li><p class="first">hw/phb3: Ensure PQ bits are cleared in the IVC when masking IRQ
When we mask an interrupt, we may race with another interrupt coming
in from the hardware.  If this occurs, the P and/or Q bit may end up
being set but we never EOI/clear them.  This could result in a lost
interrupt or the next interrupt that comes in after re-enabling never
being presented.</p>
<p>This fixes a bug seen with some CAPI workloads which have lots of
interrupt masking at the same time as high interrupt load.  The fix is
not specific to CAPI though.</p>
</li>
<li><dl class="first docutils">
<dt>hw/phb3: Fix potential race in EOI</dt>
<dd><p class="first last">When we EOI we need to clear the present (P) bit in the Interrupt
Vector Cache (IVC).  We must clear P ensuring that any additional
interrupts that come in aren’t lost while also maintaining coherency
with the Interrupt Vector Table (IVT).</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>To do this, the hardware provides a conditional update bit in the
IVC. This bit ensures that generation counts between the IVT and the
IVC updates are synchronised.</p>
<p>Unfortunately we never set this the bit to conditionally update the P
bit in the IVC based on the generation count.  Also, we didn’t set
what we wanted the new generation count to be if the update was
successful.</p>
