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 Luiz Capitulino 2017-05-18 16:04:41 UTC 
Description of problem:

When installing the kernel-rt package without the kernel-rt-kvm package, I get the following warnings:

depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/3.10.0-666.rt56.585.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/kvmgt.ko needs unknown symbol gfn_to_memslot

depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/3.10.0-666.rt56.585.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/kvmgt.ko needs unknown symbol kvm_write_guest

depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/3.10.0-666.rt56.585.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/kvmgt.ko needs unknown symbol kvm_slot_page_track_add_page
depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/3.10.0-666.rt56.585.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/kvmgt.ko needs unknown symbol kvm_read_guest
depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/3.10.0-666.rt56.585.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/kvmgt.ko needs unknown symbol kvm_get_kvm

The problem is that the kvmgt.ko module needs symbols exported by kvm.ko, which is provided by kernel-rt-kvm.

The consequence of this problem is that the user will be unable to load kvmgt if kernel-rt-kvm is not installed. If kernel-rt-kvm is installed afterwards, depmod -a needs to be run again otherwise the user will still be unable to load kvmgt.

I think the best solution is to include kvmgt in the kernel-rt-kvm package. Although I don't know if anyone will ever be using kvmgt under the RT kernel or if it works at all under the RT kernel.
