RHEA-2013:1740 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated libibverbs-rocee and libmlx4-rocee packages that fix several bugs and
add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Red Hat Enterprise Linux includes a collection of InfiniBand and iWARP
utilities, libraries, and development packages for writing applications that use
Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) technology.

The libibverbs-rocee packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.1.7 and
the libxml-rocee packages to upstream version 1.0.5, which provides a number of
bug fixes and enhancements over the previous versions and keeps the HPN channel
synchronized with the base Red Hat Enterprise Linux channel, where the sister
versions of these packages (libibverbs and libmlx4) were also updated to the
latest upstream release.

All users of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) technology are advised to
upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these
enhancements.
