[Beowulf] RHEL7 kernel update for L1TF vulnerability breaks RDMA

[Chris Samuel]

Hi all,

Just a heads up that the 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64 kernel from RHEL/CentOS 
that was released to address the most recent Intel CPU problem "L1TF" seems to 
break RDMA (found by a colleague here at Swinburne).   The discovery came 
about when testing the new kernel on a system running Lustre.

https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-11257

Stanford have reported it to Red Hat, but the BZ entry is locked due to its 
relationship with L1TF.

Hope this helps folks out there..

All the best,
Chris
