RHEA-2017:2594 - libvirt bug fix update


Synopsis

libvirt bug fix update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory None

Topic

Updated libvirt packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The libvirt library contains a C API for managing and interacting with the virtualization capabilities of Linux and other operating systems. In addition, libvirt provides tools for remote management of virtualized systems.

This update adds the following enhancement:

  • This update introduces the tx_queue_size attribute for the element of the "vhostuser" interface XML configuration. Changing the attribute's value modifies the virtio buffer size, which can prevent performance problems in environments with high network throughput, such as Nova deployments. The possible values for tx_queue_size are 256, 512, and 1024. (BZ#1482514)

Users of libvirt are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement. After installing the updated packages, libvirtd will be restarted automatically.

Solution

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