+Patch Package: OTP 21.3.8.16
+Git Tag: OTP-21.3.8.16
+Date: 2020-05-20
+Trouble Report Id: OTP-16639, OTP-16640, OTP-16641, OTP-16642
+Seq num: ERL-1236
+System: OTP
+Release: 21
+Application: erts-10.3.5.12
+Predecessor: OTP 21.3.8.15
+
+ Check out the git tag OTP-21.3.8.16, and build a full OTP system
+ including documentation. Apply one or more applications from this
+ build as patches to your installation using the 'otp_patch_apply'
+ tool. For information on install requirements, see descriptions for
+ each application version below.

+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ Note! The erts-10.3.5.12 application *cannot* be applied
+ independently of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 21
+ installation.
+
+ On a full OTP 21 installation, also the following runtime
+ dependencies have to be satisfied:
+ -- kernel-6.1 (first satisfied in OTP 21.1)
+ -- sasl-3.3 (first satisfied in OTP 21.2)

+ --- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
+
+ OTP-16639 Application(s): erts
+ Related Id(s): ERL-1236
+
+ The functionality utilized by BIFs for temporary
+ disabling of garbage collection while yielding could
+ cause system task queues to become inconsistent on a
+ process executing such a BIF. Process system tasks are
+ for example utilized when purging code, garbage
+ collecting literal data, and when issuing an ordinary
+ garbage collection from another process.
+
+ The bug does not trigger frequently. Multiple code
+ purges in direct sequence makes it more likely that
+ this bug is triggered. In the cases observed, this has
+ resulted in a hanging code purge operation.
+
+
+ OTP-16640 Application(s): erts
+ Related Id(s): OTP-16193
+
+ A literal area could prematurely be released before all
+ uses of it had been removed. This occurred either when
+ a terminating process had a complex exit reason
+ referring to a literal that concurrently was removed,
+ or when a terminating process continued executing a
+ dirty NIF accessing a literal (via the heap) that
+ concurrently was removed.
+
+
+ OTP-16641 Application(s): erts
+
+ The VM could potentially crash when checking process
+ code of a process that terminated while executing a
+ dirty NIF. The checking of process code is part of a
+ code purge operation.
+
+
+ OTP-16642 Application(s): erts
+
+ System tasks of low priority were not interleaved with
+ normal priority system tasks as they should. This could
+ potentially delay garbage collection of another process
+ longer than intended if the garbage collection was
+ requested from a low priority process.
+
+
+ Full runtime dependencies of erts-10.3.5.12: kernel-6.1, sasl-3.3,
+ stdlib-3.5
