RHBA-2011:0940 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
xen bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated xen packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.
Description
Xen is a high-performance and secure open source virtualization framework.
Virtualization allows users to run guest operating systems in virtual machines
on top of a host operating system.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the cache flush for IDE devices emulated via the QEMU emulator was
performed synchronously. When the flush process took too much time, the virtual
CPU was stuck while the fsync utility was running. This behavior sometimes
caused guests to terminate unexpectedly on the Windows operating system. With
this update, cache flushes for IDE devices are done asynchronously, and the
crash no longer occurs in the described scenario. (BZ#712412)
Users of xen are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this
bug. Note that after installation, the xend service must be restarted for this
update to take effect.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
