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.

Setting 7.2.z and 7.3.z flags because the z-stream releases are also affected.
Comment 4 Miroslav Rezanina 2017-06-06 05:14:11 UTC

Comment 5 FuXiangChun 2017-06-06 12:30:56 UTC 
Before, QE has reproduced this bug as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1452332#c10.

Verified this bug with qemu-kvm-1.5.3-140.el7.x86_64 & 3.10.0-675.el7.x86_64.

steps:

1.Boot 7.4 guest.

/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name 'avocado-vt-vm1' -sandbox off -machine pc -nodefaults -vga cirrus -drive id=drive_image1,if=none,snapshot=off,aio=native,cache=none,format=qcow2,file=/home/jinzhao/rhel74.qcow2 -device virtio-blk-pci,id=image1,drive=drive_image1,bootindex=1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -device virtio-net-pci,mac=9a:cf:d0:d1:d2:d3,id=id7Mhop2,vectors=4,netdev=idR2dWcT,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -netdev tap,id=idR2dWcT,vhost=on -m 4096 -cpu 'Opteron_G5',+kvm_pv_unhalt -rtc base=utc,clock=host,driftfix=slew -boot order=cdn,once=d,menu=off,strict=off -no-shutdown -enable-kvm -device virtio-serial -chardev spicevmc,id=vdagent,debug=0,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -spice port=3000,disable-ticketing -smp 6 -m 4G -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0 -k en-us -usb -device usb-tablet,id=tablet0 -device intel-hda,id=sound0 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -monitor stdio

1=2.create text file via small script in guest

#while true;do echo "copy text testing copy text testing copy text testing">>copy-test;done

2.copy paste text(8M size) from guest to host via spice

result:
guest works well

So, set this bug as verified.
