B.10.6. RHBA-2011:0854 — corosync bug fix update
Updated corosync packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.
The corosync packages provide the Corosync Cluster Engine and C Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux cluster software.
Bug Fixes
- BZ#696735
- When the corosync server terminated unexpectedly, if it was connected to corosync clients, a shared memory leak occurred. This bug has been fixed and no memory leaks occur in the described scenario.
- BZ#696734
- When a ring ID file was smaller than 8 bytes, the corosync server terminated unexpectedly. With this update, if no proper ring ID file can be loaded, the corosync server creates one and no crash will occur.
- BZ#696733
- During the recovery phase, the corosync server sometimes terminated unexpectedly. As a consequence, a network token was lost and new configuration had to be created. This bug has been fixed and the corosync server no longer crashes in the described scenario.
- BZ#696732
- In rare circumstances involving multiple running nodes, the corosync server terminated unexpectedly during shut down. This bug has been fixed and the corosync server no longer crashes.
- BZ#681258
- When inconsistent cluster.conf files with different versions were used among nodes, a memory leak occurred in the corosync server during the configuration reload. This bug has been fixed and the configuration reload via the cman_tool no longer causes memory leaks.
All users of corosync are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
