A process could end up in a state where it got endlessly rescheduled without making any progress. This occurred when a system task, such as check of process code (part of a code purge), was scheduled on a high priority process trying to execute on a dirty scheduler.

Application(s):
erts

Fixed bug in erlang:list_to_ref/1 when called with a reference created by a remote note. Function list_to_ref/1 is intended for debugging and not to be used in application programs. Bug exist since OTP 20.0.

A process could get into an inconsistent state where it was runnable, but never scheduled for execution. This could occur when a mix of normal and low priority processes where scheduled on the same type of dirty scheduler simultaneously.

Fixed erroneous mapping of exit reason from kill to killed on reception of some exit signals due to a broken link. This bug has existed since ERTS version 5.5.2 (OTP R11).

This bug was also unknowingly fixed in ERTS version 10.0 (OTP 21.0) due to a new ERTS internal implementation of signaling between processes.

OTP-16481
Application(s):
erts

Corrected the valid range of the erl command line argument +SDio <NumberOfDirtyIoSchedulers> from 0..1024 to 1..1024. +SDio 0 was erroneously allowed which just caused the VM to crash on the first dirty I/O job scheduled.
