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 three bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
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 bugs:
- Certain multi-port network cards return the same PCI bus address for all
ports. When the kdump utility maps the network ports, it cannot differentiate
one network port from another on these cards. Consequently, when different
network ports were on different networks, kdump failed to dump data over NFS or
SSH. This update ensures that the MAP_NET_BY_MAC variable is set in the
described scenario and kdump now dumps data for all ports as expected.
(BZ#923656)
- Previously, kernel modules in the extra_modules list were overridden by the
built-in blacklist. Consequently, kdump was unable to load the mlx4_core and
mlx4_en modules and dump data over network cards using these modules. With this
update, modules in the extra_modules list are not excluded if they are
blacklisted and kdump can use them as expected. (BZ#924820)
- When the kdump file system resided on a logical volume or a volume group with
another independent and encrypted device, the mkdumprd utility exited with an
error message when trying to access the encrypted device, preventing kdump from
functioning properly. A patch has been provided to address this issue and kdump
is now properly reconfigured and restarted in the described scenario, thus
fixing this bug. (BZ#963563)
Users of kexec-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
