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 bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1648236 +++

Description of problem:
It's not possible to specify rendernode with egl-headless compared to spice which means that QEMU will always pick the first render node available, which will never work with libvirt namespaces, because libvirt doesn't know which DRM node to put into the namespace which will inherently result in a failure to start a VM.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.12.0-14.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2.
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:
QEMU accepts rendernode option for egl-headless display type so that libvirt can take care of the access rights.

Additional info:
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1628892 for more detail and how to reproduce. Even though libvirt now lets QEMU to pick the rendernode for SPICE if the user didn't provide it, this will change due to namespaces and libvirt will pick the first available rendernode the same way QEMU has been doing it.

QA_ACK please?

Fix included in qemu-kvm-2.12.0-53.module+el8+2633+7c32f5a1

QEMU has been recently split into sub-components and as a one-time operation to avoid breakage of tools, we are setting the QEMU sub-component of this BZ to "General". Please review and change the sub-component if necessary the next time you review this BZ. Thanks

Test agasint qemu-kvm-4.2.0-31.module+el8.3.0+7437+4bb96e0d.x86_64

qemu can start with rendernode withtout error:
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -display egl-headless,rendernode=/dev/dri/renderD128 -monitor stdio
QEMU 4.2.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) 

Boot rhel8.3 VM with intel vGPU, I can see VM desktop correctly.
