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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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:
The qemu-kvm man page shows, that supported tls-channels are:
tls-channel=[main|display|inputs|record|playback|tunnel]
But if the tls-channel=tunnel is supplied, it fails with:
spice: failed to set channel security for tunnel
Moreover, if tls-channel=cursor (legacy?) is supplied, it doesn't fail, although it is not specified in the man page.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -q qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.150.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
$ /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -spice tls-port=3001,tls-channel=cursor,tls-channel=tunnel
(this is not the actual nor correct usage of the options, but the minimal set to reproduce the issue)
Actual results:
spice: failed to set channel security for tunnel
Expected results:
The man page should not list tunnel channel and should list cursor channel instead?
More man page errors:
in man page:
"-soundhw hda" -> that is not the correct way of adding the intel hda sound card
this works:
"-device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -device hda-duplex"
regarding comment #1 - cursor is not legacy, tunnel is compiled out in our spec, and we also support a smartcard channel now which is also not mentioned.
I'm not sure how to proceed, because it seems the correct fix is to have a qemu.1.template and build the full one based on compile time options (maybe can be done with qemu.1.in, I'm not familiar enough with autotools to know, but I guess it can). So I'll take this upstream.
