RHBA-2012:1215 - corosync bug fix update

Synopsis

corosync bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated corosync packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.

Description

The corosync packages provide the Corosync Cluster Engine and C Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux cluster software.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the corosync-notifyd daemon, with dbus output enabled, waited 0.5 seconds each time a message was sent through dbus. Consequently, corosync-notifyd was extremely slow in producing output and memory of the Corosync server grew. In addition, when corosync-notifyd was killed, its memory was not freed. With this update, corosync-notifyd no longer slows down its operation with these half-second delays and Corosync now properly frees memory when an IPC client exits. (BZ#849552)

Users of corosync are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
