Topic

An updated kabi-whitelists package that adds various enhancements is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The kabi-whitelists package contains reference files documenting interfaces
provided by the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 kernel that are considered to be
stable by Red Hat engineering, and safe for longer term use by third-party
loadable device drivers, as well as for other purposes.

This update adds the following enhancements:

  • Multiple symbols have been added to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 kernel

application binary interface (ABI) whitelists. (BZ#722619)

  • Multiple symbols for Hitachi loadable device drivers have been added to the

kernel ABI whitelists. (BZ#737276)

  • This update modifies the structure of the kabi-whitelists package: whitelists

are now ordered according to various Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases, and a
symbolic link that points to the latest release has been added. (BZ#753771)

  • The "__dec_zone_page_state" and "dec_zone_page_state" symbols have been added

to the kernel ABI whitelists. (BZ#803885)

  • The "blk_queue_rq_timed_out", "fc_attach_transport", "fc_release_transport",

"fc_remote_port_add", "fc_remote_port_delete", "fc_remote_port_rolechg",
"fc_remove_host", and "touch_nmi_watchdog" symbols have been added to the kernel
ABI whitelists. (BZ#810456)

  • Multiple symbols for Oracle Cloud File System have been added to the kernel

ABI whitelists. (BZ#812463)

  • The "get_fs_type" and "vscnprintf" have been added to the kernel ABI

whitelists. (BZ#816533)

All users of kabi-whitelists are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which adds these enhancements.
