RHBA-2018:2970 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated glusterfs packages that fix one bug is now available for Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.4 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7

Description

Red Hat Gluster Storage is a software only scale-out storage solution that provides flexible and affordable unstructured data storage. It unifies data storage and infrastructure, increases performance, and improves availability and manageability to meet enterprise-level storage challenges.

This advisory fixes the following bug:

• Previously a flaw in the self-heal code caused an inode-lock to be taken twice on the file that needed heal but released only once. Due to this, a stale lock was left behind on the brick, causing further operations(like heal or write from the client) that needed the lock to be hung. With this update, the inode locks are released accurately without leaving behind any stale locks in the brick. This prevents further heals or writes from the client from experiencing a hang. (BZ#1638026)

All users of Red Hat Gluster Storage are advised install these updated packages.
