Synopsis
numactl bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated numactl package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.
Description
The numactl package adds simple Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) policy support.
It consists of the numactl program to run other programs with a specific NUMA
policy, and the libnuma library to perform allocations with NUMA policy in
applications.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the "numactl --show" command produced output with an erroneous
value appended to the end of the "cpubind" line, making it difficult for other
scripts to parse the information correctly. This update applies a patch that
resolves this issue, and the numactl utility no longer produces incorrect
output. (BZ#645821)
All users of numactl are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
