Description Thomas Huth 2019-09-30 09:22:12 UTC

Description of problem:
The "adapter interrupt suppression" capability KVM_CAP_S390_AIS has been disabled since there were some issues with migration:

 https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=3f2d07b3b01ea61126b

The commit message of that commit said that the migration problems would be fixed and AIS would be enabled again, but so far this has not happen yet. Since this is likely a useful feature, we should try to get this enabled again (first in upstream, then in downstream).

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -nographic -accel kvm -cpu host,ais=true

Actual results:
qemu-kvm: Some features requested in the CPU model are not available in the configuration: ais  

Expected results:
It should be possible to use "-accel kvm -cpu host,ais=true" without problems

Comment 2 Thomas Huth 2020-01-16 13:34:09 UTC

Suggested a patch upstream here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-01/msg03309.html

Comment 3 Thomas Huth 2020-01-29 08:24:07 UTC

Patch has been merged here:
https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=a5c8617af6919515b84256978452edf07401c45e

We should get it with the next rebase, so I'm moving this BZ to POST.

Comment 4 Ademar Reis 2020-02-05 23:06:48 UTC

QEMU has been recently split into sub-components and as a one-time operation to avoid breakage of tools, we are setting the QEMU sub-component of this BZ to "General". Please review and change the sub-component if necessary the next time you review this BZ. Thanks
