This excludes any updates to packages which have an explicit or implicit dependency on kernel updates in these cases, a reboot is still required to benefit from the updates to those packages. Note that, depending on the nature of the bug being fixed, it may not be necessary to immediately restart the service.ĭisk space will continue to be consumed by the old runtimes until all packages referencing them close their open file descriptors, allowing the kernel to free the reserved storage. Until that time, such services will continue to use the earlier version of those libraries, having been loaded by the dynamic linker at service startup. The restarted services will immediately make use of the new glibc runtime.
