RHBA-2013:0082 - gfs-kmod bug fix update
Synopsis
gfs-kmod bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Udated gfs-kmod packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The gfs-kmod packages contain kernel modules that provide the ability to mount and use the Global File System (GFS).
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, registered kobjects could, under certain circumstances, be freed while they were still in use. As a consequence, a kernel panic could occur when processing the gfs_controld daemon. This update adds the kobject release() method. Now, processing the gfs_controld daemon no longer causes a kernel panic. (BZ#788694)
All users of gfs-kmod 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
