FWIW: it looks like this is the CVE that keeps on giving. Yesterday some of the mitigation hit, and this morning a new rev of kernel with a single CVE patch came out.   Don't know when it might show up in distro kernels, but its already in mine.

We are not done with Spectre/Meltdown vulns by any stretch (no insider info, just a hypothesis).

With the spate of security flaws over the past year and the impacts their fixes have on performance and functionality it might be worthwhile to just run airgapped.

    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.

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1618452

    Hope this helps folks out there..

    All the best,
    Chris
