1.99. irqbalance

1.99.1. RHBA-2011:0804: bug fix update

An updated irqbalance package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
irqbalance is a daemon that evenly distributes IRQ load across multiple CPUs for enhanced performance.
This update fixes the following bug:
  • irqbalance was not previously built with PIE and RELRO enabled, as they were in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. In this update, irqbalance is built as a PIE executable and is using RELRO protection. (BZ#630023)
Users of irqbalance are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
