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:
qemu-kvm man page guide wrong path for qemu-bridge-helper.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-rhev-1.5.3-7.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open man page and find string 'qemu-bridge-helper'
2.
3.
Actual results:
If running QEMU as an unprivileged user, use the network helper
helper to configure the TAP interface. The default network helper
executable is /usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper.
Expected results:
The default path is /usr/libexec.
Additional info:
[root@amosk qemu]# ls /usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24198 Oct 14 13:58 /usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper
qemu-bridge-helper will be truly installed to '/usr/local/libexec/', it's expected, so not a bug of manpage
The DEF() C macro in this file uses DEFAULT_BRIDGE_HELPER. In texi mode
the C preprocessor is not used so DEFAULT_BRIDGE_HELPER is not
available.
upstream needs to be fixed.
Verify this bug with component:
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-21.el7.x86_64
Steps:
1. check patch.
# rpm -q qemu-kvm --changelog | grep '1016952'
2. check string 'qemu-bridge-helper' in man page.
# man qemu-kvm | grep 'qemu-bridge-helper'
Results:
after step1,
# rpm -q qemu-kvm --changelog | grep 1016952
- kvm-doc-fix-hardcoded-helper-path.patch [bz#1016952]
- Resolves: bz#1016952
after step2,
# man qemu-kvm | grep 'qemu-bridge-helper'
executable is /path/to/qemu-bridge-helper.
-net nic -net tap,"helper=/path/to/qemu-bridge-helper"
/path/to/qemu-bridge-helper and the default bridge device is br0.
Base on these test results above, this bug has been fixed.
