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.
Hi, Eduardo
We plan to run a round of stable guest abi test on RHEL6.5 host after this bug is fixed (no rhel7 involved, juzhang will arrange the rhel7 test). So I want to confirm with you for the following stuff:
(1) Do we need to test both AMD and Intel host?
(2) Does the guest os type matter? Could we only run with windows guest? Because we ran RHEL guest before and we need to run windows guest this time for the planning test coverage matrix. If rhel guest is needed, please tell me.
Thanks,
Qunfang

Hi, Eduardo
Could you help check my comment 3? Because we have only one week to verify the bugs in errata, so we need to your help to estimate the test scope to avoid we are testing too many configuration and the time is not enough.
Thanks,
Qunfang

Yes, please. On each vendor, please test at least one model supporting xsave, and at least one model not supporting xsave.

The guest OS shouldn't matter, but some guests may make bugs more visible (e.g. I know Linux can use xsave. I don't know about Windows). It would be interesting to use guest-side software that actually uses xsave and run it while migrating (if you happen to already have a guest-side test case for xsave). On the other hand, considering that xsave migration was already working and the new code didn't touch the xsave section, testing using Windows guests should suffice if you are really short of time/resources.
The bug following bug is verified pass on qemu-kvm-415, so I would like to verified this bug now. QE will continue test a round of stable guest abi test for sanity.
