RHBA-2009:1424 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
libvirt bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated libvirt packages that resolve an issue are now available.
Description
The libvirt library is a C API for managing and interacting with the
virtualization capabilities of Linux and other operating systems. In
addition, libvirt provides tools for remotely managing virtualized systems.
These updated libvirt packages fix the following bug:
- the PIT clock is the programmable interrupt timer clock, which triggers
interrupts at certain counts, and is the default clock for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux KVM guests. Guests which used the PIT experienced clock
drift due to interrupt re-injection. The "-no-kvm-pit-reinject" option has
now been added to the KVM command line, which solves potential clock drift
on Red Hat Enterprise Linux KVM guests. (BZ#517903)
All libvirt users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve 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
