Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Adjust the qxl device to make migration from/to current upstream easier,
in preparation for the planned spice rebase in 6.1.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-09-08 11:18:01 UTC
Thank you for your bug report. This issue was evaluated for inclusion
in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Unfortunately, we
are unable to address this request in the current release. Because we
are in the final stage of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 development, only
significant, release-blocking issues involving serious regressions and
data corruption can be considered.

If you believe this issue meets the release blocking criteria as
defined and communicated to you by your Red Hat Support representative,
please ask your representative to file this issue as a blocker for the
current release. Otherwise, ask that it be evaluated for inclusion in
the next minor release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 17 Gerd Hoffmann 2011-01-04 15:01:06 UTC
There are more regressions (bug #655691, bug #662590, bug #663000).  Also the original issue is gone with the updated schedule for RHEV (2.3 being based on RHEL-6.1 not RHEL-6.0.z).  The patch will be reverted.

Comment 18 Gerd Hoffmann 2011-01-04 15:04:44 UTC
Needs also be reverted for z-stream (bug #653334).

Comment 19 Miya Chen 2011-03-28 04:56:17 UTC
Hi, Gerd
when will the patch be reverted? Please help to follow it, thanks.

Gerd is on a long PTO, Alon, can you take over?

Hi Dor,

 I just want to make sure I understand what this bug is about: is it about migration between a rhel-6.0 machine and rhel-6.1, and the other direction? i.e. between a qxl device and spice server in rhel-6.1 to/from rhel-6.0? 

Alon

Comment 22 Dor Laor 2011-03-28 12:50:11 UTC
I'm not sure what's the point here. Such migration shouldn't be supported so it looks like if that's the case you can close this bug

Comment 31 Golita Yue 2011-04-14 09:05:19 UTC
According to comment #24 and #27, the above 7 bugs was verified, and didn't find new issue. The details of bug testing information please refer to every bugs' comment.

So this bug was verified.
