Topic

Updated irqbalance packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The irqbalance packages provide a daemon that evenly distributes interrupt
request (IRQ) load across multiple CPUs for enhanced performance.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to its latest version, irqbalance could not accurately determine

the NUMA node it was local to or the device to which an IRQ was sent.
The kernel affinity_hint values were created to work around this issue.
With this update, irqbalance is now capable of parsing all information
about an IRQ provided by the sysfs() function. IRQ balancing now works
correctly, and the affinity_hint values are now ignored by default not
to distort the irqbalance functionality. (BZ#1093441)

Users of irqbalance are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

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

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
