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.

This is the clone for qemu-kvm (RHEL version, not qemu-kvm-rhev). 

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1291284 +++

Description of problem:

To enable VSOCK support in 7.3, we will need the userspace qemu changes that correspond to the kernel changes in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1291282

These are currently a work in progress[1] but should be picked from upstream qemu when merged.

1. https://github.com/stefanha/qemu/tree/vsock

Removing Bug 1308609 from the blockers list. As this particular BZ is for qemu-kvm (RHEL), not qemu-kvm-rhev (layered products).

Investigating backport.

What did your backport investigation turn up?

This BZ was postponed to RHEL 7.5.  I will do the backport at that time.

virtio-vsock is a qemu-kvm-rhev feature.  It will not be in qemu-kvm in RHEL 7.5.
