Description gustavo.pedrosa 2014-02-25 19:22:39 UTC
Description of problem:
Some guest OSes may crash if the VirtIO balloon is enabled in ppc64 VMs.
This can be worked around by the system administrator if he disables the balloon kernel module in the guest OS.
This change introduces the following modifications:
* Adds in the osinfo file a property to indicate if the balloon device must be disabled by default:
os.{id}.devices.balloon.enabled.value = false
* Changes the OS repository classes to work with the new property.
* Modifies the REST API in order to disable the balloon device if the Memory Policy is omitted in cases where the guest OS has this new propery enabled.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.4

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the New VM dialog
2.
3.

Actual results:
Balloon is enabled by default

Expected results:
Can configure in the osinfo the default value of the balloon

Setting target release to current version for consideration and review. please
do not push non-RFE bugs to an undefined target release to make sure bugs are
reviewed for relevancy, fix, closure, etc.

Comment 2 Sandro Bonazzola 2014-03-04 09:20:51 UTC
This is an automated message.
Re-targeting all non-blocker bugs still open on 3.4.0 to 3.4.1.

Comment 3 Sandro Bonazzola 2014-05-08 13:55:56 UTC
This is an automated message.

oVirt 3.4.1 has been released.
This issue has been retargeted to 3.5.0 since it has not been marked as high priority or severity issue, please retarget if needed.

Comment 4 Michal Skrivanek 2014-07-10 09:14:29 UTC
patch 22107 is missing on 3.5, backport needed

Comment 5 Sandro Bonazzola 2014-10-17 12:14:06 UTC
Moving pending bugs not fixed in 3.5.0 to 3.5.1.

Comment 6 Sandro Bonazzola 2015-01-21 16:12:52 UTC
oVirt 3.5.1 has been released and since this bug is targeted 3.5.1 and in modified state, it should be included in this release.
Please re-target and move nack to modified if this assumption is not valid for this bug.
