Table of Contents
This document is provided as a preview only. It is under development; and as such, is subject to substantial change. Consider the following information incomplete and use it with caution. Note also that some of the features and functionality, as described, may not work as expected in Oracle Linux 8.4. Features that may not work as expected include access to the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) and Oracle Ksplice.
The following notable change has been made to the graphical installation program in Oracle Linux 8.4:
Graphical Installation Program Displays Warnings About Deprecated Kernel
Boot Arguments.
All graphical installation program boot arguments that do not
contain the
inst.
prefix, such as
ks
,
stage2
,
repo
, and so on, have been deprecated since
Oracle Linux 7. These arguments will be removed in the next major Oracle Linux
release.
Starting with Oracle Linux 8.4, warning messages are displayed by the
graphical installation program whenever any boot arguments that
do not include the
inst.
prefix are used, as
appropriate.
For example, the following warnings are displayed in
dracut
when booting the installation:
ks has been deprecated. All usage of Anaconda boot arguments without the inst. prefix have been deprecated and will be removed in a future major release. Please use inst.ks instead.
When the installation program is started in a terminal window, the following warnings are displayed:
Deprecated boot argument ks must be used with the inst. prefix. Please use inst.ks instead. Anaconda boot arguments without inst. prefix have been deprecated and will be removed in a future major release.
Oracle Linux 8.4 includes the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6) on the installation image, along with the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK). For new installations, UEK R6 is enabled and installed by default and is the default kernel on first boot.
UEK R6 is a heavily tested and optimized operating system kernel for Oracle Linux 8.1, and later releases. The kernel is developed, built, and tested on Arm (aarch64), Intel x86, and AMD x86 (x86_64). platforms. It is based on the mainline Linux kernel version 5.4. This release also updates drivers and includes bug and security fixes.
UEK R6 maintains compatibility with RHCK. Additional features are enabled to provide support for key functional requirements and patches are applied to improve performance and optimize the kernel for use on Oracle operating systems.
For more details, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 Update 2 .
The following notable features, enhancements, and changes apply to the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK) that is shipped with Oracle Linux 8.4 on the x86_64 platform.

bcc updated to version 0.16.0.
The
bcc
package has updated to version
0.16.0. This version of the package includes several
improvements over the previous version.
Berkeley Packet Filter updated to version 5.9. The following, related Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) packages are updated in this release:
bpf
packages have been updated to
version 5.9.
bpftrace
packages have been updated
to version 0.11.0 .
lipbpf
packages have been updated to
version 0.2.0.1 .
cgroups implementation for the slab memory controller.
This release introduces a new implementation of the slab
memory controller for the control groups
(
cgroups
) technology. The slab memory
controller improves slab utilization, as well as enables a
shift in memory accounting from the page level to the
object level. Note that this change eliminates each set of
duplicated per-CPU and per-node slab caches for each
memory control group, as well as establishes one, common
set of per-CPU and per-node slab caches for all memory
control groups. With this change, you can achieve a
significant drop in the total kernel memory footprint and
observe positive effects on memory fragmentation.
CPU hotplug in hv_24x7 and hv_gpci PMUs support.
A change that enables PMU counters to correctly react to
the hot-plugging of a CPU is introduced in this release.
Now, if a
hv_gpci
event counter is
running on a CPU that becomes disabled, the counting
redirects to another CPU.
EDAC module included. This release includes the Error Detection and Correction (EDAC) kernel module, which is set in 8th and 9th generation Intel Core Processors (CoffeeLake). The EDAC kernel module primarily handles Error Code Correction (ECC) memory and detects and reports PCI bus parity errors.
dwarves updated to version 1.19.1.
The
dwarves
package has been updated to
version 1.19.1. This version of the package provides
multiple bug fixes and enhancements over the previous
version, as well as new way of checking functions from the
DWARF debug data by using related
ftrace
entries to ensure that a subset
of
ftrace
functions is generated.
Free memory page feature added.
The Oracle Linux 8 host kernel is capable of returning memory pages
that are not used by its VMs back to the hypervisor. This
feature change improves the stability and resource
efficiency of the host. Note that in order for memory page
returning to work, it must be configured in the VM, and
the VM must also use the
virtio_baloon
device.
hwloc updated to version 2.2.0.
The
hwloc
package has been updated to
version 2.2.0. With this change,
hwloc
can report details on Nonvolatile Memory Express (NVMe)
drives, including total disk size, as well as sector size.
ima-evm-utils updated to version 1.3.2.
The
ima-evm-utils
package has been
updated version 1.3.2 to provide multiple bug fixes and
enhancements, including the following changes:
Handling of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM2) multi-banks feature.
Extension of the boot aggregate value to Platform Configuration Registers (PCRs) 8 and 9.
Preloaded OpenSSL engine by using a command-line interface (CLI) parameter.
Intel Task State Segment (TSS2) PCR reading.
Support for the original Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) template.
Both the
libimaevm.so.0
and
libimaevm.so.2
libraries are part of
ima-evm-utils
. As such, using
libimaevm.so.0
has no effect if more
recent applications use
libimaevm.so.2
.
kabi_whitelist package renamed to kabi_stablelist.
The
kabi_whitelist
package has been
renamed
kabi_stablelist
. This change
was made in accordance with Oracle's commitment to
replacing problematic and potentially offensive language.
A similar renaming has already taken place in the UEK R6 release, per Bug ID 31783146.
kdump enhancement for configuring VLAN tagged team interface.
In this release, you can configure a Virtual Local Area
Network (VLAN) tagged team interface for
kdump
. This improvement enables
kdump
to use a VLAN tagged team
interface to dump a
vmcore
file.
kmod-redhat-oracleasm package added.
The
kmod-redhat-oracleasm
package has
been added in this release. This package provides the
kernel module part of the ASMLib utility. Oracle Automated
Storage Management (ASM) is a data volume manager for
Oracle databases. ASMLib is an optional utility that you
can use on Oracle Linux systems to manage Oracle ASM
devices.
Levelling of IMA and EVM features across supported CPU architectures. All CPU architectures, with the exception of the 64-bit ARM (aarch64) platform, have a similar level of feature support for Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) and Extended Verification Module (EVM) technologies. Note that the enabled functionalities are different for each CPU architecture. The following significant updates decrease the level of feature difference in IMA and EVM to ensure that user space applications behave the same across all supported CPU architectures:
Enabling of IMA appraise and trusted keyring.
AMD64 and Intel 64 include specific architecture policy in secure boot state.
IBM Power System (little-endian) includes specific architecture policy in secure and trusted boot state.
SHA-256 is the default hash algorithm for all supported architectures.
For all architectures, the measurement template has
changed to IMA-SIG, and the template includes the
signature bits when present. Its format is:
d-ng
|
n-ng
|
sig
.
libbpf updated to version 0.2.0.1.
The
libbpf
package has been updated to
version 0.2.0.1.
Multi-protocol Label Switching for TC available as a Technology Preview. Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is an in-kernel data-forwarding mechanism that routes the traffic flow across enterprise networks. In an MPLS network, the router that receives packets decides the further route of the packets, based on the labels that are attached to the packet. With the usage of labels, the MPLS network has the ability to handle packets with particular characteristics.
perf improvements. The following perf tool improvements are introduced in Oracle Linux 8.4:
Ability to add or remove tracepoints from a running collector.
Support for circular buffers that use specified events to trigger snapshots.
The perf script can record and display trace data with absolute timestamps. Note that to display trace data with absolute timestamps, the data must be recorded with the clock ID specified.
Top sorting order improvement.
Proactive compaction included as disabled-by-default. Proactive compaction regularly initiates memory compaction work prior to a request for allocation being made, which increases the chances that memory allocation requests find the physically contiguous blocks of memory without the requirement that memory compaction produce them on-demand. As a result, latency for specific memory allocation requests is lowered.
Be aware that proactive compaction can result in increased compaction activity; which in turn, can result in serious, system-wide impact due to the fact that memory pages belonging to different processes are moved and remapped. For this reason, enabling proactive compaction requires the utmost care to ensure that latency spikes in applications are avoided.
Users who are running a UEK R6 release can explore using the memoptimizer user space daemon to manage proactive free memory for proactive compaction.
Time namespace added. Oracle Linux 8 includes the time namespace. This feature enables the system monotonic and boot-time clocks to work with per-namespace offsets on the AMD64, Intel 64, and 64-bit ARM (aarch64) architectures. Time namespace works well for changing the date and time inside Linux containers, as well as for making in-container adjustments of clocks after restoration from a checkpoint. This change enables you to independently set time for an individual container.
The Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) feature is an in-kernel virtual machine (VM) that enables code execution in the kernel space, which takes place in the restricted sandbox environment that has access to a limited set of functions. The VM executes a special assembly-like code.
The following eBPF features are included in Oracle Linux 8.4:
BPF Compiler Collection. The BPF Compiler Collection (BCC) package provides tools for I/O analysis, networking, and monitoring of Oracle Linux operating systems that are using eBPF.
BCC library. The BCC library enables the development of tools that are similar to the those that are provided in the BCC tools package.
eBPF for Traffic control.
The eBPF for the Traffic control (
tc
)
feature enables programmable packet processing inside the
kernel network data path.
eXpress Data Path. The eXpress Data Path (XDP) feature, which provides access to received packets before the kernel networking stack processes them, is supported under specific conditions.
libbpf package.
The
libbpf
package is crucial for
BPF-related applications such as
bpftrace
and
bpf
/
xdp
development.
xdp-tools package.
The
xdp-tools
package contains user
space support utilities for the XDP feature. The XDP
feature is supported on both the AMD and Intel 64-bit
architectures.
The following software management features and improvements are introduced in this release:
createrepo_c package update and program improvement.
The
createrepo_c
packages have been
updated to version 0.16.2. This version of the
createrepo_c
program includes an
improvement that enables the program to automatically add
modular metadata to repositories. In previous
implementations, running the
createrepo_c
program on Oracle Linux 8 packages
to create a new repository did not include modular
repodata in this repository, which consequently caused
various problems with repositories.
With this change, the createrepo_c program does the following:
Scans for modular metadata.
Merges the found module YAML files into a single,
modular document,
modules.yaml
.
Automatically adds the document to the repository.
Because the adding of modular metadata to repositories is now automatic, you no longer need to perform the extra step of running the modyfirepo_c command to add modular metadata to repositories.
Capability for mirror transaction between systems within DNF. This change enables you to store and replay a transaction within DNF.
To store a transaction from DNF history into a JSON file, use the dnf history store .
To replay the transaction later one the same machine, or on a different one, use the cnf history replay command.
Note that comps groups operations storing and replaying is supported. Module operations are not yet supported; and, as such, they are not stored or replayed.
protect_running_kernel configuration option added.
You can use the new
protect_running_kernel
configuration
option to control whether the package that corresponds to
the running version of the kernel is protected from
removal. This change provides the ability to disable
protection of the running kernel.
sos tools updated.
Oracle Linux 8.4 includes an updated
sos
RPM. As
part of this change, the
/usr/sbin/sosreport
binary is
deprecated. Note that this command continues to function
as a legacy supported feature; however, the command is now
redirected to the
sos report
command.
For additional information, see
https://github.com/sosreport/sos
.
Oracle Linux 8.4 provides the GCC Toolset 10, which is an Application
Stream that is distributed in the form of a Software Collection
in the
AppStream
repository. The GCC Toolset
is similar to the Oracle Linux Developer Toolset.

performance of the SQL Server.
micropipenv package.
The new
micropipenv
package is
available is this release. This package provides a
lightweight wrapper for the
pip
package
installer to support
Pipenv
and
Poetry
lock files. The
micropipenv
package is distributed in
the AppStream repository and is provided under
Compatibility level 4.
py3c-devel and py3c-docs packages.
Oracle Linux 8.4 includes two new packages:
py3c-devel
and
py3c-docs
. These packages simplify the
porting of C extensions to Python 3 and include a detailed
guide and set of macros for easier porting.
These packages are distributed through the unsupported CodeReady Linux Builder (CLB) Repository.
mod_fcgid module can pass up to 1024 environment variables to FCGI
server process.
The
mod_fcgid
module for the Apache
HTTP Server can pass up to 1024 environment variables to a
FastCGI (FCGI) server process. Note that the previous
limit of 64 environment variables could cause applications
running on the FCGI server to malfunction.
perl-IO-String distributed through AppStream repository.
Starting with this release, the
perl-IO-String
package is distributed
through the supported AppStream repository. This package
provides the
Perl IO::String

was only made available in the unsupported CLB repository.
quota-devel package.
The new
quota-devel
package provides
header files for implementing the quota Remote Procedure
Call (RPC) service.
This package is distributed through the unsupported CodeReady Linux Builder (CLB) Repository.
Oracle Linux 8.4 provides the following file systems and storage features, enhancements, and changes:
Btrfs removed from RHCK. The Btrfs file system is removed from RHCK in Oracle Linux 8. As such, you cannot create or mount Btrfs file systems when using this kernel. Also, any Btrfs user space packages that are provided are not supported with RHCK.
Support for the Btrfs file system is enabled in UEK R6. Starting with Oracle Linux 8.3, during an installation, you have the option to create a Btrfs root file system, as well as select Btrfs as the file system type when formatting devices. See Oracle ® Linux 8: Installing Oracle Linux for more information about this feature.
For more information about managing the Btrfs root file system, see Oracle ® Linux 8: Managing Local File Systems .
For more information about the enhancements that have been made to Btrfs in UEK R6, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 Update 2 .
OCFS2 removed from RHCK. The Oracle Cluster File System version 2 (OCFS2) file system is removed from RHCK in Oracle Linux 8. As such, you cannot create or mount OCFS2 file systems when using this kernel. Also, any OCFS2 user space packages that are provided are not supported with RHCK.
OCFS2 is fully supported with UEK R6 in Oracle Linux 8.4.
NVMe/TCP included as a Technology Preview. NVMe over Fabrics TCP host and the target drivers are included in RHCK as a Technology Preview.
NVMe/TCP is already supported in Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6.
Capability for creating swap partition 16 TiB in size during installation added. In this release, for automatic partitioning, the installer continues to create a swap partition of maximum 128 GB. However, in the case of manual partitioning, you can create a swap partition of 16 TiB. Previously, during an Oracle Linux 8installation, the installer created a swap partition of maximum 128 GB for automatic and manual partitioning.
Capability for surprise removal of NVMe devices added. This improvement enables you to surprise remove NVMe devices from the Oracle Linux operating system without notifying the operating system in advance. This feature enhances the serviceability of NVMe devices due to the fact that no additional steps are required to prepare the devices for orderly removal, thus eliminating server downtime and ensuring the availability of servers.
Take special note of the following additional important information and requirements for using this feature:
Surprise removal of NVMe devices requires that you be
running UEK R6 or RHCK,
kernel-4.18.0-193.13.2.el8_2.x86_64
,
or later.
Be aware of any additional hardware platform requirements that may exist.
Ensure that the software that is running on the platform supports the successful surprise removal of NVMe devices.
The surprise removal of an NVMe device that is critical to the system's operation is not supported. For example, you cannot remove an NVMe device that contains the operating system or a swap partition.
API for mounting file systems added.
A new API for mounting file systems based on an internal
kernel structure called a filesystem context
(
struct fs_context
) is introduced in
this release. This change provides for greater flexibility
for communicating mount parameters between user space, the
VFS, and the file system. The following system calls for
operating on the file system context are provided:
fsopen()
: Creates a blank file system
configuration context within the kernel for the file
system that is named in the
fsname
parameter, adds it to creation mode, and then attaches
it to a file descriptor, which it then returns.
fsmount()
: Takes the file descriptor
that is returned by
fsopen()
and
creates a mount object for the file system root that is
specified there.
fsconfig()
: Supplies parameters to
and issues commands against a file system configuration
context, as set up by the
fsopen(2)
or
fspick(2)
system calls.
fspick()
: Ceates a new file system
configuration context within the kernel and then
attaches a pre-existing superblock to it so that it can
be reconfigured.
move_mount()
: Moves a mount from one
location to another. This call can also be used to
attach an unattached mount that is created by
fsmount()
or
open_tree()
, with the
OPEN_TREE_CLONE
system call.
open_tree()
: Picks the mount object
that is specified by the pathname, attaches it to a new
file descriptor, or clones it, and then attaches the
clone to the file descriptor.
Note that the former API, which is based on the
mount()
system call is still supported.
For more information, see the
Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt
file in the kernel source tree.
The following high availability and clustering features are included in Oracle Linux 8.4:
Noncritical resources in colocation constraints support added. This improvement enables you to configure a colocation constraint in such a way that if the dependent resource of the constraint reaches its migration threshold for failure, Pacemaker leaves the resource offline and keeps the primary resource on its current node rather than attempting to move both resources to another node. This change in behavior is implemented through the following options and feature changes:
New
influence
option. You can set
this option to
true
or
false
. When the influence
colocation option has a value of
false
, Pacemaker avoids moving the
primary resource as a result of the status of the
dependent resource. In this case, if the dependent
resource reaches its migration threshold for failures,
it stops if the primary resource is active and can
remain on its current node.
Resources include a
critical
meta-attribute, which you can also set to
true
or
false
.
The value of the
critical
resource
meta-attribute determines the default value of the
influence option for all colocation constraints that
involve a resource as a dependent resource. The value
of the
critical
resource meta
option is set to
true
by default,
which determines that the default value of the
influence option is
true
, thus
preserving the previous behavior where Pacemaker
attempted to keep both resources active.
New number data type for Pacemaker rules added.
As of this update, PCS includes a data type of
number
that you can use when defining
Pacemaker rules in any PCS command that accepts rules.
Note that Pacemaker rules implement
number
as a double-precision,
floating-point number and
integer
as
a 64-bit integer.
Ability to specify a custom clone ID during creation of clone resource
or promotable clone resource.
By default, during the process of creating a clone
resource or a promotable clone resource, the clone
resource is named
resource-id-clone
;
but, if that ID is already in use, PCS adds a suffix
-integer that starts with an integer value of
1
, which is then incremented by one
for each additional clone. In this release, you can
override this default by specifying a name for a clone
resource ID or a promotable clone resource ID by
specifying the
clone-id
option when
creating a clone resource with the
pcs resource
create
or
pcs resource
clone
command.
New commands for managing Corosync configuration. This release introduces the following new commands for displaying and modifying Corosync configuration:
Capability for printing the contents of the
corosync.conf
file in several output
formats by using the new
pcs cluster
config
[
show
] command has
been added. Note that by default, the
pcs
cluster config
command uses the text output
format, which displays the Corosync configuration in a
human-readable form using the same structure and
option names as the
pcs cluster
setup
and
pcs cluster
config
update commands.
Capability for modifying the parameters of the
corosync.conf
file by using the
new
pcs cluster config update
command. For example, you can use the command to
increase the
totem
token to avoid
fencing during temporary system unresponsiveness.
You can change the configuration of the Corosync crypto
cipher and hash by using the
pcs cluster config
update
command. Previously, you could only
configure Corosync traffic encryption when creating a new
cluster. In addition, you can change the Corosync
authkey
by using the
pcs
cluster authkey corosync
command.
New crypt resource agent for shared and encrypted CFS2 file systems.
A new
crypt
resource agent has been
added to Oracle Linux High Availability. You can use the
crypt
resource agent to configure a
LUKS encrypted block device, which you can then use to
provide shared and encrypted GFS2 file systems. Note
that use of the
crypt
resource is
currently only supported with GFS2 file systems.
Oracle Linux 8.4 introduces several version updates to infrastructure and command-line tools, including the following:
postfix-3.5.8 behavior change.
In this release, the
postfix-3.5.8
update behavior differs from the default upstream
postfix-3.5.8
behavior. This change in
behavior is for backward compatibility purposes. For the
default upstream postfix-3.5.8 behavior, you can use the
following commands:
# postconf info_log_address_format=external
# postconf smtpd_discard_ehlo_keywords=
# postconf rhel_ipv6_normalize=yes
Refer to the
/usr/share/doc/postfix/README-RedHat.txt
file for more details about this change.
Bind updated to version 9.11.26.
The
bind
package is updated to version
9.11.26 in this release. This version of Bind provides
several bug fixes and enhancements over the previous
version.
ghostscript updated to version 9.27.
This version of
ghostscript
provides
fixes for several vulnerabilities.
Tuned updated to version 2.15-1.
The
tuned
packages have been updated to
version 2.15-1. Tuned 2.15-1 includes an added
service
plugin for Linux services
control and an improved
scheduler
plugin.
dnstap improvement. DNSTAP includes an advanced method for monitoring and logging the details of incoming name queries. The feature also records sent answers from the named service. DNSTAP provides a means of performing continuous logging of detailed, incoming queries without impacting the performance penalty. The new dnstap-read utility enables you to analyze the queries that are running on a different system.
SpamAssassin updated to version 3.4.4.
In this release, the
SpamAssassin
package has been updated to version 3.4.4. Two notable
improvements include a new
OLEVBMacro
plugin and the addition of the following new functions:
check_rbl_ns
,
check_rbl_rcvd
,
check_hashbl_bodyre
, and
check_hashbl_uris
.
Capability for changing key algorithm by using OMAP added.
This enhancement provides users with a way to change the
key algorithm by using the
omshell
command. The key algorithm was previously hard coded as
HMAC-MD5
. This method is no longer
considered secure.
Sendmail provides capability for TLSFallbacktoClear configuration.
With this improvement, if the outgoing TLS connection
fails, the sendmail client falls back to plaintext. This
change addresses TLS compatibility problems with the other
parties. Note that Oracle ships Sendmail with the
TLSFallbacktoClear
option disabled by
default.
tcpdump capable of capturing of RDMA traffic. In this release, the ability to capture RDMA traffic by using the tcpdump command is enabled. This feature change enables you to capture and analyze offloaded RDMA traffic. As a result, you can also use the tcpdump command to view RDMA-capable devices, capture RoCE and VMA traffic, as well as analyze its content.
Oracle Linux 8.4 introduces the following features, enhancements, and changes:
NetworkManager updated to version 1.30.0.
This release introduces updated
NetworkManager
packages. Version 1.30.0
of
NetworkManager
includes numerous bug
fixes and improvements over the previous version,
including the following notable new features, options, and
connection properties:
ipv4.dhcp-reject-servers
connection
property. This new property defines which DHCP server
IDs
NetworkManager
should reject
lease offers.
ipv4.dhcp-vendor-class-identifier
connection property. This new property sends a custom
Vendor Class Identifier DHCP option value.
The
active_slave
bond option is
deprecated in this release. You can set the primary
option in the controller connection instead.
The
nm-initrd-generator
utility
changes, including support for MAC addresses to indicate
interfaces. The utility generator also supports creating
InfiniBand connections.
NetworkManager-wait-online
timeout
service is increased to 60 seconds.
ipv4.dhcp-client-id=ipv6-duid
connection property has been added and is compliant with
RFC4361
.
ethtool offload features added.
WPA3 Enterprise Suite-B 192-bit mode support added.
Virtual Ethernet (
veth
) devices
added.
iproute2 utility includes traffic control actions for adding MPLS
headers before the Ethernet header.
The
iproute2
utility includes three new
traffic control (
tc
) actions. These
actions facilitate the implementation of Layer-2 Virtual
Private Networks (L2VPNs) by adding Multi-protocol Label
Switching (MPLS) labels before Ethernet headers. You can
use the following actions while adding
tc
filters
to network interfaces:
Because the MPLS feature is provided in Oracle Linux 8.4 as a
Technology Preview, all of the
tc
actions that are described here are also provided as an
unsupported Technology Preview.
mac_push
: The
act_mpls
module provides this action
to add MPLS labels before the original Ethernet header.
push_eth
: The
act_vlan
module provides this action
to build an Ethernet header at the beginning of the
packet.
pop_eth
: The
act_vlan
module provides this action
to drop the outer Ethernet header.
For further details, see the
tc-mpls(8)
and
tc-vlan(8)
manual pages.
nmstate API fully supported.
The Nmstate API that was previously provided as a
Technology Preview only is fully supported in this
release. The
nmstate
packages include a
library and the
nmstatectl
CLI that you
can use to manage host network settings in a declarative
manner. The networking state is described by a predefined
schema. Note that both the reporting of the current state,
as well as any changes to the desired, state conform to
this schema.
bareudp device support for encapsulating MPLS traffic over UDP tunnel
included as Technology Preview.
As of this update, support for the
bareudp
device is available as a
Technology Preview with the
ip link
command. The feature provides L3 encapsulation tunnelling
capability for routing traffic with different L3
protocols, such as unicast and multicast MPLS and
IPv4/IPv6 inside a UDP tunnel. You can start routing MPLS
packets in UDP by adding
tc
filters and
actions.
For more information about creating
bareudp
devices, see the
ip-link(8)
manual page.
AF_XDP socket feature included as Technology Preview. The Address Family eXpress Data Path (AF_XDP) socket feature is available as a Technology Preview in . AF_XDP is designed for high-performance packet processing. The feature accompanies XDP and grants efficient redirection of programmatically selected packets to user space applications for further processing.
Oracle Linux 8.4 introduces the following security features, enhancements, and changes:
Clevis updated to version 15.
The
clevis
packages have been updated
to version 15. This version of Clevis provides numerous
bug fixes and other enhancements over the previous
version, including the following notable changes:
clevis
produces a generic initramfs
and no longer automatically adds the
rd.neednet=1
parameter to the kernel
command line.
Proper handling of incorrect configurations that use an
sss
pin. Also, the
clevis
encrypt sss
subcommand returns outputs that
indicate the cause of errors.
fapolicyd updated to version 1.0.2.
The updated
fapolicyd
packages in this
release provide numerous bug fixes and enhancements over
the previous version, including the following features:
New
integrity
configuration option
for enabling integrity checks by comparing file sizes
and SHA-256 hashes, and by using the Integrity
Measurement Architecture (IMA) subsystem.
Improved
fapolicyd
RPM plugin, which
registers any system update that is handled by either
the YUM package manager or the RPM Package Manager.
Rules can contain GID in subjects.
Ability to include rule numbers in debug and
syslog
messages.
libreswan updated to version 4.3.
Updated
libreswan
packages are
introduced in this release. Version 4.3 of
libreswan
provides several fixes and
improvements for IKE, IKEv2, IPSec, as well as the
following other notable improvements:
IPsec VPN support for TCP transport.
The updated
libreswan
package adds
support for IPsec-based VPN over TCP encapsulation,
per
RFC
8229
. This improvement helps
establish IPsec virtual private networks (VPNs) on
networks that prevent traffic through the
Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) and UDP features.
This enhancement enables you to configure VPN servers
and clients to use TCP, either as a fallback or as the
main VPN transport protocol.
Libreswan support for IKEv2 for Labeled IPsec. In this release, the Libreswan Internet Key Exchange (IKE) implementation includes Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) support of Security Labels for IPsec. This enhancement enables the upgrade of systems that use security labels with IKEv1 to IKEv2.
OpenSCAP packages updated to version 1.3.4. OpenSCAP version 1.3.4 provides a fix for memory issues and leaks, as well as other fixes for issues that resulted in systems with large amounts of files to run out of memory. Other notable changes include the following:
OpenSCAP treats GPFS as a remote file system.
Proper handling of OVALs with circular dependencies between definitions.
Improved
yamfilecontent
: updated
yam-filter
, as well as extended the
schema and probe so that it can work with a set of
values in maps.
Numerous warnings for GCC and Clang fixed.
Platform elements in XCCDF files properly resolve in accordance with the XCCDF specification.
Improved compatibility with the uClibc library.
Improved local and remote file system detection methods.
The
dpkginfo
probe can use
pkgCacheFile
rather than manually
opening the cache.
OpenSCAP scan report is a valid HTML5 document.
New RPM plugin that notifies fapolicyd about changes.
A new RPM plugin that notifies
fapolicyd
about any changes during RPM
transactions has been added. The RPM plugin replaces the
YUM plugin because its functionality is not limited to YUM
transactions, while also accounting for any changes made
by RPM.
scap-security-guide packages updated to 0.1.54.
The
scap-security-guide
packages have
been updated to version 0.1.54. The updated version
provides several bug fixes and improvements over the
previous version, including an updated Operating System
Protection Profile, a family of profiles that are based on
ANSSI BP-028 recommendations.
scap-workbench can scan remote systems with sudo privileges.
As of this update, the
scap-workbench
GUI includes support for scanning remote systems by using
passwordless
sudo
access. This
improvement reduces the security risk that is imposed by
supplying
root
's credentials.
Exercise caution when using this feature. Oracle recommends dedicating a well-secured user account that is solely designated for the OpenSCAP scanner.
The web console includes graphical performance analysis capability in this release. With this enhancement, the system graphs page has been replaced with a new View details and history page, which is dedicated to analyzing the performance of a system.
You can view performance metrics from the Overview page by clicking View details and history . The page displays information about current metrics and historical events, based on the Utilization Saturation and the Errors (USE) method.
Oracle Linux maintains user space compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), which is independent of the kernel version that underlies the operating system. Existing applications in userspace continue to run unmodified on the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6) release and no re-certifications are required for RHEL certified applications.
To minimize impact on interoperability during releases, the Oracle Linux team works closely with third-party vendors regarding hardware and software that have dependencies on kernel modules. The kernel ABI for UEK R6 will remain unchanged in all subsequent updates to the initial release. UEK R6 contains changes to the kernel ABI, relative to UEK R5, that require recompilation of third-party kernel modules on the system. Before installing UEK R6, verify its support status with your application vendor.
Table of Contents
This document describes the Oracle Linux 8.4 software and is provided as a preview only . Note that the information in this document is currently under development and is subject to change. As such, some of the features and functionality that are described may not work as expected in the Oracle Linux 8.4 release. Features that may not work as expected include access to the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) and use of Oracle Ksplice. Note also that upgrade functionality might not be fully tested in this Beta release.
The following are known installation and upgrade issues for Oracle Linux 8.4.
Attempting to perform a fresh installation of Oracle Linux 8.4 on an
Oracle 6.4 TB NVMe SSD device will fail. This issue occurs
because the
mkfs.xfs
command
cannot mount the file system. This failure is related to a
problem with the
xfsprogs
package version that is in RHCK, with the root cause of the
issue being an NVMe SSD firmware bug.
To work around the issue, do not use the Oracle 6.4 TB NVMe SSD as a boot disk.
Alternatively, you can install Oracle Linux 8.2, and then upgrade to Oracle Linux 8.4.
(Bug ID 32823840)
When upgrading from Oracle Linux 8.3 to Oracle Linux 8.4, with the appropriate Oracle Linux 8 repositories enabled, the following warning is emitted:
Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of pmlogger.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
This warning can be safely ignored, as the upgrade completes successfully.
(Bug ID 32852356)
When upgrading from Oracle Linux 8.3 to Oracle Linux 8.4, with the appropriate Oracle Linux 8 repositories enabled, the dnf upgrade command displays messages similar to the following during the upgrade or package installation process:
Running scriptlet: systemd-239-44.0.1.el8.x86_64 4550/4550 [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/dnssec-trigger.conf:1] Line references path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/dnssec-trigger → /run/dnssec-trigger; please update the tmpfiles.d/ drop-in file accordingly.

.
(Bug ID 32852433)
When upgrading from Oracle Linux 8.3 to Oracle Linux 8.4, with the appropriate Oracle Linux 8 repositories enabled, the dnf upgrade command returns the following error message numerous times during the upgrade process:
sbin/ldconfig: /lib64/libsmbldap.so.2 is not a symbolic link
These warnings can be safely ignored, as the upgrade completes successfully.
(Bug ID 32846091)
During a Preboot Execution Environment
(
PXE
) installation of
Oracle Linux 8.4, the installer automatically enables the Ethernet over
USB network interface with the
bootproto=dhcp
and
ONBOOT=yes
parameters. This issue causes
the
NetworkManager
service to fail to
start.
To prevent this issue from occurring or to resolve the issue if you have already encountered it, use one of the following workarounds:
Prior to the installation, disable the
ONBOOT
parameter for the Ethernet over
USB network interface in the kickstart file, as follows:
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=enp0s20f0u8u3c2 --onboot=off --ipv6=auto
During the installation, on the Network & Host Name screen, do not select the Connect automatically with priority check box to connect automatically on every reboot for the Ethernet over USB network interface.
If you have already encountered this issue, you can
resolve the issue after the installation by changing the
network configuration setting for the Ethernet over USB
network interface to
ONBOOT=no
, and
then rebooting the system.
(Bug ID 31888490)
If an alternate language is selected during an interactive installation using the text-based installer, you cannot progress through all of the steps in the installation wizard. The installation is blocked with [!] bullets for Software Selection and Installation Destination , irrespective of what is selected for these two options.
Note that this issue does not occur when performing an installation when using the default language selection of English or if you use the graphical installation program.
(Bug IDs 30535416, 29648703)
There is a minor upstream usability error that applies to the
graphical installation program when configuring Kdump
settings. In the situation where you attempt to configure a
manual
kdump
memory reservation, and you
then set the memory reservation value to an unacceptable
value, the installer allows you to click
Done
and then return to the
Installation Summary
screen without
producing a warning or error message.
When you select an unacceptable value, the installer resets
the value to the last-known acceptable value that was entered
or the installer sets the default minimum value of 512 MB.
Note that this information is not displayed in the
Installation Summary
screen. Because an
incorrect value cannot be stored for this parameter, the
installation succeeds, even if incorrect information is
entered.
This issue does not occur with the text-based installer, which correctly returns an error if you enter an unacceptable value, preventing you from continuing until you enter an acceptable value.
(Bug IDs 31133351, 31182708)
A minor usability error applies to the graphical installation prorgram when configuring Kdump settings. If you manually change the default memory size that is reserved for Kdump, the new setting is not displayed when the screen is refreshed. Instead, only the values for the total system memory and usable system memory are displayed. Consequently, the limits for the parameter "Memory to be reserved (Mb)" become unknown for future Kdump configuration.
The default settings for Kdump memory reservation of
auto
is adequate as the kernel will
determine what size to use when it boots
(Bug IDs 31133287 and 31182699)
A scriplet-related error similar to the following may be encountered when upgrading from Oracle Linux 8.3 to Oracle Linux 8.4 by using the yum update command:

1089/1089
The error is encountered if you perform a Server with GUI
installation and then boot the server with RHCK. as this
installation method installs the kernel-dependent,
kmod-kvdo
package/module, which is a
different version in Oracle Linux 8.3 than in Oracle Linux 8.4. The error does
not occur if you install the Minimal Install base environment
or if you boot the server with UEK R6.
The error can be safely ignored and is of no consequence, as
the
kmod-kvdo
package is successfully
installed during the upgrade process.
(Bug ID 31292199)
Attempting to register with the Unbreakable Linux Network
(ULN) in Oracle Linux 8.4 by running the
rhnreg_ks
command may fail if the
python3-rhn-virtualization-hosts
package is
installed on the system. This issue has been observed when the
libvirtd
service is not running.
To work around this issue, ensure that the
libvirtd
packages are installed on your
system and that the service is enabled and running prior to
registering with ULN by using the
rhnreg_ks
command.
(Bug ID 30366521)
When upgrading a system to Oracle Linux 8.4, a dependency issue might
be encountered if the
beignet
package
exists on the system to be installed, as this package requires
an earlier version of the
clang-libs
package.
Because the
beignet
package is currently
not available for Oracle Linux 8.3 or Oracle Linux 8.4, this particular issue
would only be encountered when upgrading from an Oracle Linux 8 release
earlier than Oracle Linux 8.3.
The workaround for this issue is to remove the
beignet
package from the system prior to
upgrading to Oracle Linux 8.4.
(Bug ID 31213935)
On new installations of Oracle Linux 8, the ULN registration wizard that presents the options to register with ULN and to use Oracle Ksplice is not displayed on first boot. This behavior differs from previous Oracle Linux releases, where you were presented with these options on the first boot after completing the installation.
As an alternative, you can register with ULN after the installation completes. For instructions, visit https://linux.oracle.com/ .
(Bug ID 29933974)
To successfully install Oracle Linux 8.4 on an Oracle VM VirtualBox
guest, where the graphical installation program is used and
the default installation of the
Server with
GUI
environment is set, the Oracle VM VirtualBox
guest is required to use the VMSVGA graphics controller and
must be configured with at least 64MB of memory.
Failure to set the graphics controller correctly can result in an installation where the graphical display is unable to start correctly.
The VMSVGA graphics controller is the default controller when you create a new guest by using Oracle VM VirtualBox 6.0, or later, for Linux guest operating systems. This issue is more likely to appear if you attempt to install over an existing guest that was created on an earlier Oracle VM VirtualBox release. Oracle recommends that you only attempt to install Oracle Linux 8 on a newly created VM in Oracle VM VirtualBox 6.0, or later.
(Bug ID 30004543)
Spurious messages that are similar to the following might be emitted during a system update from Oracle Linux 8.3 to Oracle Linux 8.4:
/sbin/ldconfig:/etc/ld.so.conf.d/kernel-5.4.17-2011.6.2.el7uek.x86_64.conf:6: hwcap directive ignored
These messages are the result of a change in kernel configuration for UEK and can be safely ignored.
Note that this issue also occurs on subsequent runs of the ldconfig command or for any service or process that triggers the ldconfig command. The messages can also be safely ignored in these cases.
(Bug ID 32816428)
If you attempt to install the
qt5-doctools
package directly from the ISO and the system does not have
access to external yum repositories, a dependency issues
results. The error appears as follows:
Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides libclang.so.10()(64bit) needed by qt5-doctools-5.12.5-2.el8.aarch64 - nothing provides libclang.so.10(LLVM_10)(64bit) needed by qt5-doctools-5.12.5-2.el8.aarch64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
This issue occurs because the
qt5-doctools
package is built with an earlier version of
libclang
than the package that is included
on the ISO. The earlier version of the package continues to be
available in the repositories on the Oracle Linux yum server and the error is
not encountered if the system can install the dependencies
from an external yum repository.
(Bug ID 32815947)
Warnings are emitted when updating the
gssproxy
package from the version that is
available in Oracle Linux 8.3. The warnings appear as follows and are
an indication that you must reload Systemd daemons:
Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of gssproxy.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
You can ignore these warning messages, as the services are restarted later in the transaction.
(Bug ID 32831687)
If you remove the
container-selinux
package
from the system after installing Oracle Linux 8.4, the
selinux-policy-targeted
package might also be
removed. This action effectively renders the system unbootable.
When this problem occurs, you may also see an error message about being unable to load the SELinux policy displayed.
To prevent the
selinux-policy-targeted
package from being removed from the system when removing the
container-selinux package
package, you can
specify the following syntax with the
dnf
remove
command:
# dnf remove container-selinux --setopt=exclude=selinux-policy-targeted
(Bug ID 32860334)
The
glusterfs-*.i686
packages are not
included in either the Oracle Linux 8.3 or Oracle Linux 8.4 release. However, if
you installed the
glusterfs-*.i686
and
glusterfs-*.x86_64
packages on the system to
be upgraded in an earlier release, running the
dnf
update glusterfs*
command fails to upgrade the
packages to Oracle Linux 8.4.
The workaround for this issue is to first remove the
glusterfs-*.i686
packages from the system to
be upgraded, and then run the
dnf update
glusterfs*
command.
(Bug ID 30279840)
Installing the
libss
package might fail to
update if the
libss-devel
package is
installed on the system.
The workaround for this issue is to first remove the
libss-devel
package from the system and then
install the corresponding version of this package from the
Oracle Linux 8 Distro Builder
developer
repository. Note that because the
ol8_distro_builder
repository is an
unsupported developer repository, it is recommended that you
only enable the repository for this particular installation
action, rather than enabling it globally. For example, you can
run the following command:
$ sudo dnf --enablerepo=ol8_distro_builder install libss-devel
(Bug ID 32005190)
Some options for configuring disk cache characteristics in the web console are currently not available when you are creating a new VM or before the installation starts. For disks that are already added to a VM or when adding a new disk to an already running system, these configuration options are available in the web console.
As an alternative solution, you can use the virt-manager CLI or a similar CLI to configure disk cache characteristics for a newly added disk before the installation begins, as well for disks that already exist in the VM.
Per Oracle recommendation, you should use Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager for more complex virtualization requirements. For more information, see https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/oracle-linux-virtualization-manager/ .
(Bug ID 30301271)
When booting an Intel-based Dell EMC PowerEdge Server, error messages similar to the following might be displayed if the Dell Active Power Controller (DAPC) setting is enabled in the BIOS:
kernel: ACPI Error: No handler for Region [SYSI] (0000000061df8ef3) [IPMI] (20190816/evregion-132) kernel: ACPI Error: Region IPMI (ID=7) has no handler (20190816/exfldio-265) kernel: ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PMI0._GHL due to previous error (AE_NOT_EXIST) (20190816/psparse-531) kernel: ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PMI0._PMC due to previous error (AE_NOT_EXIST) (20190816/psparse-531) kernel: ACPI Error: AE_NOT_EXIST, Evaluating _PMC (20190816/power_meter-743)
Note that this issue is encountered on both RHCK and UEK kernels.
The workaround for this issue is to disable the
apci_power_meter
kernel module as follows:
# echo "blacklist acpi_power_meter" >> /etc/modprobe.d/hwmon.conf
After disabling the
apci_power_meter
kernel
module, reboot the system for the change to take effect.
For environments that do not require the DAPC feature, as an alternative workaround, you can disable the DAPC BIOS setting.

The Oracle Linux 8.4 installer does not recognize some Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controllers that are found in older Oracle Sun server models. If you attempt to install Oracle Linux 8 on these server models, the installer does not recognize the local disk and the installation fails. Examples of these server models include, but are not limited to, the following: Oracle Sun Fire X4170 M2 Server, Oracle Sun Fire X4170 M3 Server, Oracle Sun OVCA X3-2 Server, and the Oracle Sun X4-2 Server.
The following SAS controllers are removed from the
mpt2sas
driver in RHCK:
SAS2004, PCI ID 0x1000:0x0070
SAS2008, PCI ID 0x1000:0x0072
SAS2108_1, PCI ID 0x1000:0x0074
SAS2108_2, PCI ID 0x1000:0x0076
SAS2108_3, PCI ID 0x1000:0x0077
SAS2116_1, PCI ID 0x1000:0x0064
SAS2116_2, PCI ID 0x1000:0x0065
SSS6200, PCI ID 0x1000:0x007E
The following SAS controllers are removed from the
megaraid_sas
driver in RHCK:
Dell PERC5, PCI ID 0x1028:0x15
SAS1078R, PCI ID 0x1000:0x60
SAS1078DE, PCI ID 0x1000:0x7C
SAS1064R, PCI ID 0x1000:0x411
VERDE_ZCR, PCI ID 0x1000:0x413
SAS1078GEN2, PCI ID 0x1000:0x78
SAS0079GEN2, PCI ID 0x1000:0x79
SAS0073SKINNY, PCI ID 0x1000:0x73
SAS0071SKINNY, PCI ID 0x1000:0x71
The workaround for this issue to use the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6) boot ISO, and then run UEK R6 with Oracle Linux 8, as these controllers are supported in the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel release.
(Bug ID 29120478)
The following are known file systems issues in Oracle Linux 8.4.
The Btrfs file system is removed from RHCK in Oracle Linux 8, which means you cannot create or mount this file system when using this kernel. Also, any Btrfs user space packages that are provided are not supported with RHCK.
Support for the Btrfs file system is enabled in UEK R6. Starting with Oracle Linux 8.3, during an installation, you have the option to create a Btrfs root file system, as well as select Btrfs as the file system type when formatting devices.
For further details about these changes, see the following documentation:
For information about creating a Btrfs root file system during an installation, see Oracle ® Linux 8: Installing Oracle Linux .
For information about managing the Btrfs file system, see Oracle ® Linux 8: Managing Local File Systems .
For the latest information about other enhancements that have been made to Btrfs in UEK R6, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 Update 2 .
The OCFS2 file system is removed from RHCK in Oracle Linux 8, which means you cannot create or mount this file system when using this kernel. Also, OCFS2 user space packages that are provided are not supported with RHCK.
Note that support for OCFS2 file systems is enabled in UEK R6. For more information about other enhancements that have been made to OCFS2 in UEK R6, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 Update 2 .
If a system that is using the
ext4
file
system is repeatedly or frequently shut down, the file system
might become corrupted. Note that this issue is considered to
be a corner-case issue because it is difficult to replicate
it. The issue exists in the upstream code and proposed patches
are currently under review.
(Bug ID 27547113)
The following are known kernel issues in Oracle Linux 8.4.
Creating KVM guest snapshots when using one kernel, and then attempting to revert the snapshot so that it uses another kernel, might fail with errors similar to the following:
[root@host ~]#virsh snapshot-create-as myGuest mySnapshot1-- Reboot into another kernel -- [root@host ~]#virsh start myGuest[root@host ~]#virsh snapshot-revert myGuest mySnapshot1error: revert requires force: Target CPU feature count 20 does not match source 18 -- Even forced revert fails -- [root@host ~]#virsh snapshot-revert myGuest mySnapshot1 --forceerror: operation failed: guest CPU doesn't match specification: missing features: ibpb,amd-ssbd
For example, if you create a KVM guest snapshot while running RHCK, and you then attempt to revert that guest snapshot by using UEK R6, you could encounter this issue. Note that the same issue applies, irrespective of which default kernel you are running.
This issue only occurs in situations where you are attempting to interchange an RHCK kernel for a UEK kernel, or if you are interchanging a UEK kernel for an RHCK kernel. The issue is not encountered if you are interchanging kernel versions from the same vendor.
To avoid encountering this issue, guest snapshots should always use the same kernel on which they were initially created.
(Bug ID 30561489)
The following errors might be displayed repeatedly when KVM guests are booting on 64-bit AMD hosts:
[ 12.474069] amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_register_ecc_decoder (err 0) [ 12.474083] amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_report_gart_errors (err 0) [ 12.852250] amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_unregister_ecc_decoder (err 0) [ 12.852297] amd64_edac_mod: Unknown symbol amd_register_ecc_decoder (err 0) . . .
These errors occur because the module code for the kernel
erroneously returns
-EEXIST
for modules
that failed to load and are in the process of being removed
from the module list. The
amd64_edac_mod
module will not be loaded in a VM. These errors can be
ignored, as they do not impact functionality in any way.
This issue occurs on Oracle Linux 8.4 hosts that are running RHCK only and is not encountered on UEK R6 hosts.
(Bug ID 29853602)
A bug in the Oracle Linux 8.4 code causes Retropline support to not be
displayed in the output of the
modinfo
command, even though the
CONFIG_RETPOLINE
flag is set to
Y
, for example:
# modinfo -F retpoline
/usr/lib/modules/4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64/kernel/sound/usb/usx2y/snd-usb-us122l.ko.xz
#
The
CONFIG_RETPOLINE=Y
flag is still
required to add and display Retpoline support. If the
parameter is enabled, the kernel builds with a
retpoline-capable compiler.
To confirm whether the
CONFIG_RETPOLINE
flag is enabled, search the configuration file, for example:
# cat /boot/config-5.4.17-2011.7.4.el8uek.x86_64 | grep RETPOLINE
CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y
(Bug ID 29894295)
Kdump might fail on some AMD hardware that is running Oracle Linux 8.4 with the default RHCK kernel. Impacted hardware includes the AMD EPYC CPU (codename Naples and Rome) servers.
To work around this issue, modify the
/etc/sysconfig/kdump
configuration file and
remove the
iommu=off
command-line option
from the
KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND
variable.
Then, restart the
kdump
service for the
changes to take effect.
Note that the issue does not occur on this particular hardware if you are running UEK R6 with Oracle Linux 8.4.
(Bug ID 31274238)
The new LVM
dm-writecache
caching method
has certain limitations that do not exist with the
dm-cache
method, including the following:
Cannot attach or detach
dm-writecache
when a logical volume is active.
Cannot take a snapshot of a logical volume when the
logical volume is using
dm-writecache
.
Must use a
dm-writecache
block size
that matches the existing file system block size when
attaching
dm-writecache
to an inactive
logical volume.
Cannot resize a logical volume when
dm-writecache
is attached to the
volume.
Cannot use
pvmove
commands on devices
that are used with
dm-writecache
.
Cannot use logical volumes with
dm-writecache
when using thin pools or
the virtual data optimizer (VDO).
For more information about the
dm-writecache
caching method, see the the
Section 4.9, “File Systems and Storage”
features section of
these release notes. See also the
lvmcache(7)
manual page.
Running the
tracepath6
command fails to parse
the destination IPv6 address correctly. Consequently, the tool
traces a route to the wrong host.
To work around this issue, you can use a tool with similar
capabilities to the
tracepath6
command.
(Bug ID 29540588)
If you run the nohup command on an Oracle Linux 8.4 system, and then attempt to remotely connect to that system by using the ssh command, the ssh command hangs, for example:
# /usr/bin/nohup ./myscript > nohup.out &
To work around for this issue, modify the nohup command as follows:
# /usr/bin/nohup ./myscript > nohup.out 2>&1 &
(Bug ID 30287091)
Restarting the firewalld service leads to an SSH connection timeout on the terminal from which the service was started. Note that other SSH terminals remain connected.
(Bug ID 29478124)
An error indicating that the mcelog service does not support the processor can appear in the system log on systems with AMD processors, such as some Oracle Server hardware. The message might be displayed as follows:
mcelog: ERROR: AMD Processor family 23: mcelog does not support this processor. Please use the edac_mce_amd module instead.
The
mcelog
daemon is a service that is used
on x86_64 platforms to log and handle hardware error messaging,
but it is not required on AMD systems, where the
edac_mce_amd
kernel module handles machine
exception logging. This error should be downgraded to a warning.
(Bug ID 29501190)
By default, the Oracle Linux 8 graphical user interface (GUI) console mode treats the hardware power button as the equivalent of the ACPI "Sleep" button, which puts the system into low-power sleep mode. This behavior is specific to the GNOME desktop environment.
In previous Oracle Linux releases, the hardware power button initiated a system shutdown. To ensure that Oracle Linux 8 behaves the same way, do the following:
Create a file named
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/01-shutdown-button-action
with following content:
# cat /etc/dconf/db/local.d/01-power [org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power] power-button-action='interactive' #
Create a file named
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/01-power
with
the following content:
# cat /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/01-power /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/power-button-action #
Run the following command:
# dconf update
Log out of the desktop environment and then log back in for the new settings to take effect.

For more information about the Podman container management tool, including any known issues, see the Oracle ® Linux: Podman User's Guide .
Booting from a multipath attached LUN when using the Emulex 32GB
FC Adapter may fail. Note that booting from single path attached
LUNs are not affected by this issue. To work around the issue,
add the
rd.multipath=1 rd.driver.pre=lpfc
boot parameter.
For systems with multiple boot disks, such as a local boot disk
and a SAN boot disk, the
rd.driver.pre=lpfc
option does not guarantee that the SAN attached storage is
discovered first. To avoid booting from devices other than the
SAN, such as from a local disk, additional
module_blacklist=
boot options are required, for example,
disk_driver
rd.driver.blacklist=megaraid_sas
module_blacklist=megaraid_sas
.

Oracle Linux 8.4 ships with UEK R6 as the default kernel.
Oracle also provides Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) packages for use with UEK R6. The RDMA feature enables direct memory access between two systems that are connected by a network. RDMA facilitates high-throughput and low-latency networking in clusters.
To use RDMA features, you must first install the Oracle-supported RDMA packages. To do so, ensure that your system is subscribed to the appropriate channels on ULN or that you have enabled the appropriate repositories on the Oracle Linux yum server.
If you are subscribed to ULN, enable the
ol8_x86_64_UEKR6
,
ol8_x86_64_baseos_latest
, and
ol8_x86_64_UEKR6_RDMA
channels. Note that if
your system is newly registered on ULN, it is already subscribed
to the
ol8_x86_64_UEKR6
,
ol8_x86_64_baseos_latest
, and
ol8_x86_64_appstream
channels by default.
However, you must explicitly subscribe to the
ol8_x86_64_UEKR6_RDMA
channel prior to
installing RDMA packages.
If you are using the Oracle Linux yum server, enable the
ol8_UEKR6
,
ol8_baseos_latest
,
ol8_appstream
, and
ol8_UEKR6_RDMA
repositories. Note that if
your system already uses the Oracle Linux yum server, the
ol8_UEKR6
,
ol8_baseos_latest
, and
ol8_appstream
repositories are enabled by
default. However, you must explicitly enable the
ol8_UEKR6_RDMA
repository prior to installing
RDMA packages.
For additional information about RDMA, including any known issues, see Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel: Release Notes for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 Update 2 .

The Oracle Linux 8.4 (aarch64) release ships with Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6). This kernel is currently the only kernel that is supported on the 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platform.
The default UEK kernel version that is shipped with Oracle Linux 8.4 (aarch64) is:
kernel-5.4.17-2102.201.3.el8uek
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 6 (UEK R6)
The Oracle Linux release is tested as a bundle, as shipped on the installation media image. When installed from the installation media image, the minimum kernel version that is supported is the kernel that is included in the image. Note that downgrading kernel packages is not supported, unless specifically recommended by Oracle Support.
The following new features are specific to the 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platform. See Chapter 4, New Features and Changes for all of the new features in Oracle Linux 8.4, most of which are also supported on the 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platform.
In this release, the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) remote console is available as a technology preview on the 64-bit Arm platform only . The remaining components of the graphics stack are unverified on this platform.
Currently, there are no known issues that apply specifically to the Oracle Linux 8.4 (aarch64) release. See Chapter 5, Known Issues for information about known issues that apply to the x86_64 platform, some of which may also apply to the 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platform, as noted.
