Updated gfs-kmod packages which fix several bugs are now available.
The gfs-kmod packages contain kernel modules that provide the functionality
to mount and use GFS file systems.
These updated packages apply the following bug fixes:
* A potential deadlock causing gfs to hang in 'wait_for_completion' was
fixed by prefaulting buffer pages.
* Applications using sendfile on files with the inherit_jdata flag are now
notified that sendfile will not work on those files instead of failing.
* A bug that could potentially cause a page allocation failure has been fixed.
* A bug that caused fsyncs to stuffed inodes fail to flush the journal has
been fixed.
Users are advised to upgrade to these latest gfs-kmod packages, which
resolve these issues.
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
