[NET] link_watch: Always schedule urgent events
I have rolled up the commits d9568ba91b1fdd1ea4fdbf9fcc76b867cca6c1d5 and
db0ccffed91e234cad99a35f07d5a322f410baa2 into one and backported it to RHEL5.
Assigning and setting flags. Causing problems with at least one customer configuration where they are performing failback in clustered configuration. Would like this in 5.2. "This is really killing us because it makes zero-downtime failback impossible - we are seeing 30-60s loss of connectivity until the ARP cache expires." This needs a matching bug for 4.6 as we are seeing it in 4.6 DomUs Nick Nick: BZ 429930 is the rhel4 clone of this bug, and I've attached the rhel4 equiv. patch for it. We're in the process of doing live migration testing of rhel5.2-ish & rhel4.7-ish kernel with the respective patches. once verified, i'll post the rhel4 patch (for 4.7). if needed for 4.6.z, pls raise flags for that additional effort. - Don in 2.6.18-74.el5 You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5 We (our customer) have just tested updated kernels and can't confirm that this issue is fixed. Network blackout is shorter, about 15 sec (comparing to 1-3 minutes before updating the kernel), but we expect it to be much more shorter (1 second?) An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0314.html |
