RHEL6

Description

RHEL6's kernel needs to be upgraded to the latest RHEL6.4 kernel since critical security vulnerability was reported.
https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2013-2094

So, lustre-1.8 client needs to support RHEL6.4 kernel as well sooner.

Could you please look into what would be required to add client support to b1_8 for the latest RHEL6.4 kernel update?

Thanks

Peter

As far as I can see no functional changes are needed. I can configure and build --disable_server against the newest el6 kernel just fine. I will push a patch to update ChangeLog and target files to the newer version. Don't think anything more is necessary.

We may want to skip past -358.11.1 and go directly to -358.14.1. There is already a mod in progress to update master to -358.14.1; http://review.whamcloud.com/#/c/7055

I think that this ticket is well out of date
