1142737 – [virtio-win][netkvm]interface status is '2', but expect status is '7' after set_link NIC off

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:
interface status is '2', but expect status is '7' after set_link off

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.32-502.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.445.el6.x86_64
virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-91

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot a guest win8.1-i386 with -device virtio-net-pci

2. update the NIC driver with virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-91

Hit that problem with virtio-win-1.7.2 once only.

Can you help to reproduce the issue on virtio-win-1.7.2 and virtio-win-prewhql-91 on RHEL7 host ?

Comment 4 Chengyou Liu 2014-09-19 03:35:43 UTC

Hi Mike,

I've reproduced the issue with virtio-win-prewhql-91 on RHEL7. And can't reproduce this with virtio-win-1.7.2 on RHEL7.

By the way, ping is normal to me. It doesn't get reply after set_link off and It works again after set_link on. Both on RHEL6 & RHEL7, ping works well with virtio-win-1.7.2 and virtio-win-prewhql-91.

Thanks,
Chengyou

Based on above , this is a regression in internal build

That's WHQL required and it is made by design . set_link off is emulate the action to unplug the network cable

Comment 12 lijin 2014-09-28 09:40:40 UTC

win2k8-32/64 hit the same issue when run build92 netkvm whql job "Ethernet - NDISTest 6.5 (Manual)" 

package info:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.0-4.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-165.el7.x86_64
seabios-1.7.5-4.el7.x86_64
virtio-win-prewhql-92

1.get following error message as following:
Warning 9/27/2014 12:49:22.265 PM Did not receive the WMI connect event within 300 seconds . This is probably a bug in the NIC driver for Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter. It may not have indicated the media connect status to NDIS or may not have connected back. 
Error 9/27/2014 12:49:22.265 PM Connect event from the NIC driver for device Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter was not received. This is probably a bug in the driver. It may not have indicated the media connect event to NDIS or may not have connected back. 

2.checked guest connection status in guest as comment#0,also get NetConnectionStatus 2

Comment 14 Mike Cao 2014-09-29 01:20:40 UTC

This bug also a testblocker based on comment #12.

Comment 16 Ronen Hod 2014-11-18 17:25:41 UTC

Deferred to 7.2, as we will ship an older build of NetKVM (that already passed WHQL) for 7.1.

Comment 18 Yossi Hindin 2015-03-11 15:41:25 UTC

The bug was apparently fixed in b99; please, test the issue with the latest build.

   Regards,
      Joseph Hindin

Comment 19 lijin 2015-03-12 03:02:11 UTC

with build 101,job "Ethernet - NDISTest 6.5 (Manual)" can pass on win2k8-32/64 guests

Comment 20 Mike Cao 2015-03-12 07:41:03 UTC

Move status to VERIFIED according to comment #19
