openais bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated openais package that fixes three bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The Application Interface Specification (AIS) is an API and a set of policies
for developing applications that maintain services during faults. The OpenAIS
Standards Based Cluster Framework is an OSI-certified implementation of the
Service Availability Forum AIS. The openais package contains the openais
executable, OpenAIS service handlers, default configuration files and an init
script.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, when OpenAIS was used in a lossy network, and a large number of
  configuration changes occurred, OpenAIS sometimes terminated unexpectedly. To
  solve this problem, the underlying source code has been modified, and OpenAIS no
  longer crashes in the scenario described. (BZ#731460)
  
• In rare cases, rapidly starting and stopping the openais service sometimes
  resulted in a deadlock. This update adapts the underlying source code to prevent
  such a deadlock, resolving this issue. Deadlock situations no longer happen
  during a rapid start/stop process. (BZ#739083)
  
• Under certain circumstances, the previous version of OpenAIS sometimes used an
  incorrect sort message queue when the "memb_join" message was sent during
  recovery. With this update, this error has been fixed, and OpenAIS now uses a
  correct sort message queue in this scenario. (BZ#739086)
  

All users of openais are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
these bugs.
