Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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 Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2018-03-26 16:59:54 UTC

Description of problem:
The migration format of e1000 changed in qemu 2.12;  it's got code to handle forward migration, but backwards will break; we'll need a downstream hack for that.

Upstream commit 'd62644b4 - e1000: Separate TSO and non-TSO contexts, fixing UDP TX corruption' is the change that incremented the version.

Merged upstream in daf6b59be8c703264765a533bc63421caef95225 

QE:
Please test with e1000 on a mix of guests OS (Linux and Windows) and that networking works across the migration (and is no worse than it was on previous versions); please check across old/new machine types.

Bug 1578068 is now on POST.

Comment 17 Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2018-06-14 10:12:12 UTC

Jing:
  This seems to be working for me.
Given our IRC discussion there seems to be some confusion. To clarify:

a) Migration from 7.6->7.5 with the pc-i440fx-rhel7.5.0 machine type should work, even with the e1000 NIC.
b) I believe this didn't work in 2.12.0-1
c) I believe this is fixed in 2.12.0-3

Please confirm that migration now works without error.
