RHBA-2011:0294 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
device-mapper-multipath bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated device-mapper-multipath packages that resolve an issue are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The device-mapper-multipath packages provide tools to manage multipath
devices by giving the "dm-multipath" kernel module instructions on what to
do, as well as by managing the creation and removal of partitions for
Device-Mapper devices.
These updated device-mapper-multipath packages fix the following bug:
- Multipathd caches the value of sysfs attribute lookups for the path
devices that make up a multipath device. Previously, these weren't being
removed when the path devices were removed. As well, in some cases the
cache was not helpful and not used. This occasionally caused memory leaks
when path devices were removed and restored. With this update, the
unnecessary caching has been completely removed and the cached values are
now removed when the corresponding path device is removed. Consequently,
the occasional memory leaks no longer occur. (BZ#672151)
All device-mapper-multipath users are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
