RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Klaus Wenninger 2017-10-09 13:50:02 UTC
Description of problem:

SBD is not a super active upstream project but recently there had been
a couple of interesting changes (sbd on 2-node-clusters, proper behaviour
on watchdog set to poweroff, ...).
So it is much cleaner and easier to support to base on the 
upstream version and patch what we want differently instead of 
doing it the other way round.

Comment 3 Klaus Wenninger 2017-10-19 14:48:31 UTC
On top of the bugs mentioned just minor things like Manpage-fixes.
A lot of upstream changes affect scripts we are not packaging.

Others might have severe impact but usually won't trigger.
Fixes in handling of servant-names - like preventing duplicates of servants, false-positives in device matching if one device is a substring of the other.

There are 2 outstanding PRs that sound interesting.
A cleanup of the cmdline-switches that as well shouldn't affect our setups as we are using the environment-variables through pcs.
Have the cluster-servant check connectivity to corosync + get quorum from there directly - so that it would fail on quorum-loss right away instead of waiting for pacemaker-servant to fail indirectly.

Comment 6 Klaus Wenninger 2018-02-16 00:49:02 UTC
Steven:

Thanks I guess your edit is fine.
I had bluntly pasted in the release-note which in turn was very much inspired by the individual commit-messages.
Some of the changes coming in with the upstream-release we had already in 7.4 as extra patches. I didn't mention that extra. Do you think we should?

Comment 8 Klaus Wenninger 2018-02-16 07:28:00 UTC
Chris, Steven:

'Configurable' here means at build time!
If we go that route we would have to remove e.g. the fixes to sbd.sh as well which we don't package with RHEL.

Comment 9 Steven J. Levine 2018-02-16 17:19:35 UTC
I could add "at build time" to the bullet noted in comment 7.  Chris, would that address your concern?

Comment 10 Steven J. Levine 2018-02-16 17:29:59 UTC
Klaus:  Re, your question in Comment 6:  Are the changes ones that a user moving from 7.4 to 7.5 will care about?  That is, if they were in 7.4 patches my first guess is to say we probably don't need to include them here, but the point is really to let people know about things that could affect them with this release.

Comment 11 Klaus Wenninger 2018-02-19 13:56:22 UTC
Steven:

If we go with the definition to mention just what introduces changes visible to the rhel-7.5-user in comparison to rhel-7.4 we would stay with:

* Adds commands to test and query watchdog devices
* Overhauls the command-line options and configuration file
* Properly handles "off" actions instead of "reboot"

Everything else is either irrelevant for how we currently build sbd for rhel or it replaces rhel-patches by upstream-code (mostly 1-1 the same code).

Comment 13 Steven J. Levine 2018-02-19 19:18:27 UTC
Klaus:

I'll make those deletions, which is consistent with what Chris notes as well.
