Description Andrew Jones 2016-04-26 13:13:17 UTC
We need this fix

Comment 1 Andrew Jones 2016-06-14 12:56:26 UTC
Actually I just noticed we don't yet have THP enabled on RHELSA, at least not for 7.3. So in the least this can be deferred for that. However Eric found a problem with the patch I point out in comment 0, so that may be changing upstream as well. Anyway, reassigning to Eric and deferring.

Comment 2 Eric Auger 2017-01-09 20:10:55 UTC
We now have https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-04/msg03402.html. As for the issue this patch induces on multiple platform device passthrough it should be addressed in a separate BZ I think.

Comment 3 Luiz Capitulino 2020-03-09 19:09:48 UTC
This BZ is being closed as CURRENTRELEASE because it falls
into the following criteria:

o It's an aarch64 virt BZ for RHEL7
o It's on ON_QA or VERIFIED state
o Resolution seems to be in place for some years

If you have objections, please add a comment or re-open the BZ.
