RHBA-2019:2116 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An update for tuna is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The tuna package provides an interface for changing both scheduler and IRQ tunables, at whole CPU, per-thread or per-IRQ levels. Tuna allows CPUs to be isolated for use by a specific application and threads and interrupts to be moved to a CPU simply by dragging and dropping them.

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 Release Notes linked from the References section.

Users of tuna are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.
