[Debian-ha-maintainers] Bug#641730: pacemaker: attrd never updates CIB when attributes are updated more frequently than their timeout setting

[Rainer Weikusat]

Package: pacemaker
Version: 1.0.9.1+hg15626-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Whenever the attrd_local_callback routine in attrd.c is invoked with
an updated value which differs from either the current value of
the corresponding hash entry or its stored value it will copy
the updated value to the current value of this hash entry, kill
an existing scheduled CIB updated and schedule a new one. If the
frequency of these updates is higher than the CIB update frequency
resulting from the hash entry timeout, the CIB update will thus
never be executed because the corresponding will always be killed
and rescheduled before it fired.
