libcgroup bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated libcgroup packages that fix several bugs and add one enhancement are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The libcgroup packages provide tools and libraries to control and monitor
control groups.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, the cgrulesengd daemon ignored the "--sticky" option of the cgexec
  command and, as a consequence, moved a process to another cgroup when the
  process called the setuid() or setgid() functions even if the process had to be
  stuck to the current cgroup. This bug is now fixed and the cgrulesengd daemon
  now checks whether the process is "sticky" or not when the process calls setuid
  or setgid. (BZ#773544)
  
• Previously, the lscgroup command dropped the first character of a path unless
  prefixed with a slash, which led to lscgroup generating invalid paths. This bug
  is now fixed and the generated paths are now correct. (BZ#819137)
  
• Previously, adding a cgroup after the cgrulesengd daemon had started did not
  work. As a consequence, if a directory was created after cgrulesengd was already
  started, any /etc/cgrules.conf configuration for that directory would not be
  processed. With this update, a routine has been added to scan the cgrules.conf
  file and move matching running tasks in the /proc/pid/ directory into configured
  cgroups. This new routine is called at init time and also after inotify events
  on cgroups. With this update, a routine has been added to scan the cgrules.conf
  file and move matching running tasks into configured cgroups. (BZ#849757)
  
• Previously, the cgconfig service was not working properly with read-only file
  systems. As a consequence, cgconfig was not able to start with the default
  configuration on a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor system. This
  update adds a check for the read-only file systems to the cgconfig service and
  it now works as expected with the default configuration on Red Hat Enterprise
  Virtualization Hypervisor systems. (BZ#869990)
  

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

• This update improves the logging facility and error messages generated by
  libcgroup. (BZ#738737)
  

Users of libcgroup are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs and add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
