RHBA-2016:0482 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
kernel bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated kernel packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.5 Advanced Update Support.
Description
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Due to prematurely decremented calc_load_task, the calculated load average was
off by up to the number of CPUs in the machine. As a consequence, job scheduling
worked improperly causing a drop in the system performance. This update keeps
the delta of the CPU going into NO_HZ idle separately, and folds the pending
idle delta into the global active count while correctly aging the averages for
the idle-duration when leaving NO_HZ mode. Now, job scheduling works correctly,
ensuring balanced CPU load. (BZ#1308967)
All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
