1.19. dapl

Updated dapl and compat dapl packages that fix various bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

dapl and compat-dapl provide a userspace implementation of the DAT 1.2 and 2.0 API that is built to natively support InfiniBand/iWARP network technology.

This update fixes the following bugs:

* Previously, an error in the code path in the uDAPL layer did not allow the cp_ptr entry to be cleaned up correctly in the internal link list. This could cause new connections to fail. With this update, the entry is cleaned up correctly and subsequent connections work as expected. ( BZ#638594)

* Previously, dapl could leak file descriptors, which could cause an application crash. With this update, the leak is closed and dapl behaves as expected. ( BZ#638595)

* Previously, verbs CQ and completion channels were not correctly disconnected and freed, which could cause an application crash. With this update, verbs CQ and completion channels behave as expected. ( BZ#638860)

* Previously, an error in the code path in the compat-dapl layer did not allow the cp_ptr entry to be cleaned up correctly in the internal link list. This could cause new connections to fail. With this update, the entry is cleaned up correctly and subsequent connections work as expected. ( BZ#638862)

All users of dapl or compat-dapl are advised to upgrade to these updated packages which resolve these issues.
