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 John Pittman 2017-01-31 17:18:29 UTC 
Description of problem:

Virtual guests on Microsoft hypervisor failing to dump vmcore intermittently with a "lost interrupt".

Issue can be seen below:
  - https://paste.fedoraproject.org/541688/raw

Requesting to include LIS 4.1.3 or the module equivalent in RHEL 6.10

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

kernel-2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Test crashing the hyperv guest system with the following parameters set in kdump.conf:

  ---------------------
  ext3 LABEL=/log2
  path /var/crash
  core_collector makedumpfile -c --message-level 1 -d 31
  blacklist hv_utils hv_netvsc hid-hyperv hyperv_fd
  disk_timeout 100
  extra_modules ata_piix sr_mod sd_mod
  default reboot
  force_rebuild 1
  ----------------------

Issue is intermittent, but occurred every 3 crashes or so.

Actual results:

Crash intermittently fails.

Expected results:

Crash should work every time.  It was found that the upstream LIS fixes the issue.
Requesting that this level or equivalent be added to 6.10.

I don't think this blacklist is needed.

Ditto. When running under Hyper-V you need to use Hyper-V drivers all the time, they should normally work even after kdump.

All Hyper-V drivers and fixes are in the upstream Linux kernel, we backport them to RHEL when necessary. From your log it seems you're trying to do kdump by injecting NMI with Debug-VM from the host. The issue you see is supposed to be already fixed in RHEL6, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1333167
If you can, please try the latest 6.9 kernel, it should work. Please report in the original BZ if it doesn't.
