Synopsis
kexec-tools bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated kexec-tools packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Extended Update Support.
Description
The kexec-tools packages contain the /sbin/kexec binary and utilities that together form the user-space component of the kernel's kexec feature. The /sbin/kexec binary facilitates a new kernel to boot using the kernel's kexec feature either on a normal or a panic reboot. The kexec fastboot mechanism allows booting a Linux kernel from the context of an already running kernel.
This update fixes the following bug:
- When the fence_kdump_nodes option was set and nodes were referenced by IP address, kdump attempted to send fence_kdump notifications to the same node where the crash occurred and waited for a response which never came. As a consequence, generating the kdump file entered an infinite error loop and could not finish. This update excludes the IP address of the local node from the list. As a result, generating the kdump file can now finish successfully and the described problem no longer occurs. (BZ#1460211)
Users of kexec-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
