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.
DescriptionMarcelo Tosatti

It is necessary to backport the libvirt components of the
"Time sync after resuming from suspend" feature,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1049038
as requested by
"[RFE] Clock in KVM guest is not up-to-date after save-to-disk/restore"
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1115340.
I've sent Michal a qemu-kvm build with rtc-reset-reinjection command.
The RHEL-6.7-beta qemu-kvm build already contains a qemu guest agent
which supports "guest-set-time" without parameters.
Unfortunately, there's nothing libvirt can do in here. When implementing this feature in RHEL-7 I've invented this new API virDomainSetTime() which is, however, missing in RHEL-6. And to preserve ABI stability we can't backport an API.
But there's a workaround though. Since Marcello has backported the 'rtc-reset-reinjection' command, users can:
1) issue 'guest-set-time' via libvirt API
2) issue 'rtc-reset-reinjection', yet again via libvirt
Using virsh it boils down to the following:
virsh qemu-agent-command $dom '{"execute":"guest-set-time"}'
virsh qemu-monitor-command $dom '{"execute":"rtc-reset-reinjection"}'
I'm closing this one meanwhile.
