+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2184728 +++ Dear Red Hat team, we would like to ask wether you could backport the following commit https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/commit/2fa4168c8bc9d5438bc1dfadda293c7c21b6fa59 to the supported RHEL 8/9 versions. Thank you Michael --- Additional comment from Michael Trapp on 2023-04-24 09:23:29 UTC --- Increased severity because, this patch helps to prevent a possible performance degradation of libuuid. Depending on the workflow, uuid consumption is a critical part of a SAP system. --- Additional comment from Michal Hlavinka on 2023-04-26 07:37:11 UTC --- reassigning to correct component --- Additional comment from Karel Zak on 2023-04-26 14:32:42 UTC --- The cache-related changes are relatively small, so from my point of view, it's possible to backport from the current upstream to RHEL (probably by "git diff HEAD upstream -- libuuid/src/gen_uuid.c" as there are more changes than in the commit 2fa4168c8bc9d5438bc1dfadda293c7c21b6fa59).
Can you please provide the version info of the fixed libuuid rmps.
(In reply to Michael Trapp from comment #2) > Can you please provide the version info of the fixed libuuid rmps. The bugfix has not been released yet; it's planned for RHEL 9.3.
@michael.trapp please, can test RHEL-9 backport of the libuuidd cache in your environment? Thanks! The rhel-9 packages are available at: https://people.redhat.com/kzak/bz2189947/x86_64
tested libuuid-2.37.4-13.el9.x86_64.rpm + uuidd-2.37.4-13.el9.x86_64.rpm on RHEL 9.2 Thanks for the backport!
