Synopsis

libibverbs-rocee and libmlx4-rocee bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated libibverbs-rocee and libmlx4-rocee packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Red Hat Enterprise Linux includes a collection of InfiniBand and iWARP utilities, libraries, and development packages for writing applications that use Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) technology.

The libibverbs-rocee packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.1.7 and the libxml-rocee packages to upstream version 1.0.5, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous versions and keeps the HPN channel synchronized with the base Red Hat Enterprise Linux channel, where the sister versions of these packages (libibverbs and libmlx4) were also updated to the latest upstream release.

All users of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) technology are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
